United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED August 4, 2022 No. 21-10896 Lyle W. Cayce Summary Calendar Clerk

United States of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, versus Ivory Minor, Defendant—Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:21-CR-126-1

Before Jones, Haynes, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:* The attorney appointed to represent Ivory Minor 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).

Minor has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow Case: 21-10896 Document: 00516419063 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/04/2022

No. 21-10896 us to make a fair evaluation of Minor’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 brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Minor’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.
