v.
LARRY STEVE HAYS,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:13-CR-6-1
Before JOLLY, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The attorney appointed to represent Larry Steve Hays 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).
Hays has filed a response and a request for the appointment of counsel. The
record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Hays’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

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 brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Hays’s response. We concur with counsel’s
assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.
Accordingly, Hays’s motion for the appointment of counsel is DENIED,
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.
