v.

RICARDO TIRADO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:13-CR-155-3


Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Ricardo Tirado 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).
Tirado has filed responses. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us
to make a fair evaluation of Tirado’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel;
we therefore decline to consider the claim without prejudice to collateral


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

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 Tirado’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. Tirado’s motions for appointment of counsel are DENIED.
