UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Lilia Esther GARZA, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 14-40766

Conference Calendar.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

June 16, 2015.

Renata Ann Gowie, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Margaret Loraine Schmucker, Cedar Park, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: *

The attorney appointed to represent Lilia Esther Garza has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir.2011). Garza has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Garza’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.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 123, 190 L.Ed.2d 94 (2014).

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Garza’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. Garza’s motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED.
