United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ____________

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit No. 23-10642

Summary Calendar FILED ____________ February 5, 2024 Lyle W. Cayce United States of America, Clerk Plaintiff—Appellee, versus

Mena Jabeen,

Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:23-CR-28-2 ______________________________

Before Willett, Duncan, and Ramirez, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

The attorney appointed to represent Mena Jabeen 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). Jabeen has submitted an out-of-time response. We construe this document as moving for leave to file an out-of-time response, and we GRANT the Case: 23-10642 Document: 00517055962 Page: 2 Date Filed: 02/05/2024

No. 23-10642 motion. Accordingly, we have considered Jabeen’s response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Jabeen’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 Jabeen’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.
