v.

ALMA MARQUEZ-VALTIERRA,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                            USDC No. 3:13-CR-1840-1

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Alma Marquez-Valtierra has moved
for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th
Cir. 2011).     Marquez-Valtierra has filed a response.              The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Marquez-
Valtierra’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
    Case: 14-50146     Document: 00513014113     Page: 2    Date Filed: 04/21/2015

                                  No. 14-50146

consider the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States
v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Marquez-Valtierra’s response. We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
appellate review. Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS
DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
