October 23, 2018
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
CHRISTOPHER LEE GONZALEZ, also known as Gonzo,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:16-CR-27-2
Before DAVIS, JONES, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The attorney appointed to represent Christopher Lee Gonzalez 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). Gonzalez has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently
developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Gonzalez’s claim of
ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claim
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

No. 17-10268
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 Gonzalez’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.
