UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

YOUSEF HENDI,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:18-CR-82-1

Before CLEMENT, GRAVES, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
*
The attorney appointed to represent Yousef Hendi 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).
Hendi has filed a response. The record is not sufficiently developed to allow us
to make a fair evaluation of Hendi’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel;

*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5
TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

we therefore decline to consider the claim 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 Hendi’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
5
TH CIR. R. 42.2.
