No. 21-10365
developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Jackson’s claims of
ineffective assistance of counsel or his claim that his guilty plea was coerced;
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); United
States v. Corbett, 742 F.2d 173, 175-78 (5th Cir. 1984).
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
record reflected therein, as well as Jackson’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.
