Ahmad Wright,

Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:19-CR-666-1 ______________________________

Before Stewart, Duncan, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

The attorney appointed to represent Ahmad Wright 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). Wright has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Wright’s claims of ineffective assistance of Case: 22-11136 Document: 00516760522 Page: 2 Date Filed: 05/23/2023

No. 22-11136 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 Wright’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.
