JESSE CARLOS RIOS Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 4:06-CR-14-5 Before REAVLEY, BARKSDALE, and GARZA, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* The attorney appointed to represent Jesse Carlos Rios has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Rios has filed a response. The record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of Rios’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. See United States v. Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir. 2006). Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Rios’s response discloses * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 06-41743 no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
