Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 5:22-CR-105-11 ______________________________

Before Higginbotham, Stewart, and Southwick, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

The attorney appointed to represent Jason Wade Grant 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). Grant has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Grant’s claims of ineffective assistance of Case: 23-10710 Document: 42-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 03/05/2024

No. 23-10710 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 Grant’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.
