v.

FIDEL MARTINEZ-ARROYO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:18-CR-416-1

Before JONES, HIGGINSON, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Fidel Martinez-
Arroyo 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). Martinez-Arroyo has filed a response. The record
is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Martinez-
Arroyo’s claim 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 19-50126    Document: 00515111404     Page: 2   Date Filed: 09/10/2019

                                 No. 19-50126

consider the claim 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 Martinez-Arroyo’s response.      We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
appellate review.    Accordingly, counsel’s 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.
