PER CURIAM: * The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Michael Irby 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). Irby has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Irby’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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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: 14-30331 Document: 00512946062 Page: 2 Date Filed: 02/24/2015 No. 14-30331 collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 135 S.
