Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:23-CR-147-1 ______________________________

Before Davis, Willett, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jacob Josiah Mitchell-Bowlds 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). Mitchell-Bowlds has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation Case: 23-10979 Document: 42-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 03/27/2024

No. 23-10979 of Mitchell-Bowlds’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim 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 Mitchell-Bowlds’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.
