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.
