Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 5:16-CR-130-1

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jorge Damian Aguirre Sifuentes, Jr. 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). Aguirre Sifuentes has filed a response.

The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Aguirre Sifuentes’s claim 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

No. 17-40449 decline to 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 Aguirre Sifuentes’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.
