Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 1:21-CR-19-3 Before Higginbotham, Graves, and Ho, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam:* The attorney appointed to represent Jeremy Lee Kidd 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). Kidd has filed a response in which he avers that he wishes to raise claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.

Case: 22-10356 Document: 00516580158 Page: 2 Date Filed: 12/15/2022 No. 22-10356 developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of the proposed claims, we decline to consider them without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014). To the extent Kidd moves for the appointment of substitute counsel, the motion is DENIED. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Kidd’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s 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
