No. 22-10865

things, he appears to suggest that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in the district court. Because the record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of this claim, we decline to consider it without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014). To the extent Mayberry moves for the appointment of substitute counsel, the motion is DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Mayberry’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.
