United States v. Marcos Torales-Sanchez

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The attorney appointed to represent Marcos Heliodoro Torales-Sanchez has *222 moved for leave to withdraw and has filed original and supplemental briefs in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Torales-Sanchez has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Torales-Sanchez’s claims of ineffective assistance 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 briefs and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Torales-San-chez’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. Torales-Sanchez’s motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be *222 published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
