UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DARREL DARNELL WILLIAMS,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:03-CR-54-ALL
--------------------
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Darrel Darnell Williams
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in
accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our
independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Williams’s
response shows that there are no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
The record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration on
direct appeal of Williams’s claim of ineffective assistance of
counsel. See United States v. Higdon, 832 F.2d 312, 314 (5th
Cir. 1987). Accordingly, without prejudice to Williams’s right

to file a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, the motion for
leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
responsibilities herein, and this appeal is DISMISSED. See
5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
