v.

EDWARD LEON KAVANAUGH,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:13-CR-469-1


Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Edward Leon Kavanaugh 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). Kavanaugh has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently
developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Kavanaugh’s claims of
ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                  No. 14-50310

without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829,
841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014).
      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Kavanaugh’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, the APPEAL IS DISMISSED, and
Kavanaugh’s request for new appointed counsel is DENIED. See 5TH CIR.
R. 42.2; United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
