No. 16-51361 The record is insufficient to permit us to consider Haigler’s claim that she was induced to plead guilty by her trial counsel’s unkept promises regard- ing sentencing and his failure to explain the plea process. See United States v. Corbett, 742 F.2d 173, 176–78 (5th Cir. 1984). She may raise such claims in a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Id. at 178 n.11. Nor do we reach Haigler’s remaining ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims, as this is not one of the “rare cases in which the record allows a reviewing court to fairly evaluate the merits of the claim” on direct appeal. United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014) (quotation marks omitted).

We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Haigler’s responses. We concur with counsel’s as- sessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.

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.
