No. 22-11174
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Ramirez-Jimenez’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim and deny it 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 Ramirez-Jimenez’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, Ramirez-Jimenez’s claim for ineffective assistance of counsel is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to collateral review, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
