Cayce Clerk v. ALBERT CHRISTOPHER SOLIS, Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:14-CR-62-1 Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: * The attorney appointed to represent Albert Christopher Solis has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Solis has filed responses. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Solis’s claims of ineffective assistance 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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: 14-10994 Document: 00513382705 Page: 2 Date Filed: 02/17/2016 No. 14-10994 of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014). We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Solis’s responses. 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. Solis’s motion for the appointment of counsel is DENIED. 2
