The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Raul Alfonso Mendoza-Mendoza (Mendoza) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Mendoza has filed a response. The record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of Mendoza’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; such claim generally “cannot be resolved on direct appeal when [it has] not been raised before the district court since no opportunity existed to develop the record on the merits of the allegations.” United States v. Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Mendoza’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. 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.
