    United States Court of Appeals
    for the Fifth Circuit                            United States Court of Appeals
    Fifth Circuit
    FILED

    No. 20-11063
    Summary Calendar                      Lyle W. Cayce
    Clerk
    United States of America,
    Plaintiff—Appellee,
    versus
    Roderick Dewayne Jones,
    Defendant—Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of Texas
    USDC No. 4:20-CR-90-3
    Before Davis, Jones, and Elrod, Circuit Judges.
    Per Curiam:*
    The attorney appointed to represent Roderick Dewayne Jones has
    moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief and supplemental brief in
    accordance with Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
     (1967), and United States
    v. Flores, 
    632 F.3d 229
     (5th Cir. 2011). Jones has filed responses and moves
    *
    Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
    opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
    circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

    No. 20-11063
    for the appointment of new counsel. The record is not sufficiently developed
    to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Jones’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 briefs and the relevant portions of the
    record reflected therein, as well as Jones’s responses. 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. Jones’s motion
    for the appointment of new counsel is DENIED.
