PER CURIAM: * The attorney appointed to represent Ray Lee Ransom, Jr., 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). Ransom has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Ransom s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. * Case: 13-40329 Document: 00512724915 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/06/2014 No. 13-40329 collateral review. See United States v.
