Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 7:22-CR-13-1 ______________________________

Before Higginbotham, Graves, and Ho, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam: * The attorney appointed to represent Angel Roman Walter Medina 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). Medina has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Medina’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims _____________________ * This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5. Case: 22-10849 Document: 00516609200 Page: 2 Date Filed: 01/12/2023

without 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 Medina’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.
