Case: 18-10696 Document: 00514858559 Page: 1 Date Filed: 03/04/2019 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit No. 18-10696 Conference Calendar FILED March 4, 2019 Lyle W. Cayce Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. DECORIAN LAMON WILLIAMS, Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:18-CR-99-1 Before HIGGINSON, COSTA, and HO, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: * The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Decorian Lamon Williams 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). Williams has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Williams’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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: 18-10696 Document: 00514858559 Page: 2 Date Filed: 03/04/2019 No. 18-10696 without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014). We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Williams’s response. 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. 2
