evaluation of Edwards’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; we there-
fore decline to consider that claim, without prejudice to collateral review. See
United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
We have reviewed counsel’s brief, relevant portions of the record, and
Edwards’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal
presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion
to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities
herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
