record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Turner’s claims of ineffective assistance 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 Turner’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. The motion to
appoint substitute counsel is DENIED.
