    Clerk
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff-Appellee
    v.
    MARTEL ARANA-JAIMEZ,
    Defendant-Appellant
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Eastern District of Texas
    USDC No. 4:13-CR-268
    Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM: *
    The attorney appointed to represent Martel Arana-Jaimez 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).
    Arana-Jaimez has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to
    allow us to make a fair evaluation of Arana-Jaimez’s claims of ineffective
    assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without
    * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
    be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
    CIR. R. 47.5.4.

    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 Arana-Jaimez’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.       Arana-Jaimez’s motion for the
    appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED.
