UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
ABRAHAM HERNANDEZ-ZAVALA,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:16-CR-35-1
Before JONES, WIENER, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Abraham
Hernandez-Zavala 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). Hernandez-Zavala has filed a response.
The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of
Hernandez-Zavala’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

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 brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Hernandez-Zavala’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.
