IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED No. 18-20506 May 13, 2019 Conference Calendar Lyle W. Cayce Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. RAJESH BHATT, also known as Manoj Joshi, also known as Mike Joshi, Defendant-Appellant

Appeals from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 4:16-CR-385-46

Before DENNIS, CLEMENT, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * The attorney appointed to represent Rajesh Bhatt 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).

Bhatt has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Bhatt’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel;

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 18-20506 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 brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Bhatt’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.
