v.

MARIO CONSTANTINO ALVARADO-HINOJOSA,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:15-CR-626-1

Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Mario Constantino
Alvarado-Hinojosa 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). Alvarado-Hinojosa has filed a response.
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Alvarado-Hinojosa’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 15-41159    Document: 00513558603     Page: 2      Date Filed: 06/21/2016

                                 No. 15-41159

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 Alvarado-Hinojosa’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.
