                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 7:20-CR-2062-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Jolly, Stewart, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Gerardo Jimenez 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).
   Jimenez has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to
   allow us to make a fair evaluation of Jimenez’s claims of ineffective assistance

                                     No. 22-40798

   of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to
   collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
          We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Jimenez’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.
