United States of America,

Plaintiff—Appellee, versus

Demetrius Deangelo Hall,

Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 5:19-CR-394-1 ______________________________

Before Smith, Southwick, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:*

The attorney appointed to represent Demetrius Deangelo Hall 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). Hall has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Hall’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without Case: 22-30113 Document: 00516605626 Page: 2 Date Filed: 01/10/2023

No. 22-30113 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 Hall’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.
