Before Smith, Stewart, and Higginson, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
The attorney appointed to represent Julia Poff has moved to withdraw
and has filed a brief per Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United
States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Poff has filed a response. The
record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of

No. 19-20853
Poff’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, which we decline to con-
sider 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
Poff’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal pre-
sents 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. Poff’s pro se
motions are DENIED.
