(January 28, 2015)
Case: 14-10737 Date Filed: 01/28/2015 Page: 2 of 2
Before TJOFLAT, WILSON, and EDMONDSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Nathaniel Griggs appeals the dismissal of his pro se 28 U.S.C. § 2254
petition raising four claims of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. Given
our instructions set out in Clisby v. Jones, 960 F.2d 925 (11th Cir. 1992), the
district court committed a Clisby error by not addressing two ineffective assistance
claims raised in an amendment to Griggs’s petition. Accordingly, we vacate the
dismissal of Griggs’s petition, without prejudice, and remand for further
proceedings.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
