PER CURIAM.

Gregory Caldwell appeals from the district court’s1

 entry of an amended

judgment following this court’s remand with instructions to vacate one of his four

drug convictions. See United States v. Williams, 429 F.3d 767 (8th Cir. 2005). His

counsel has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and moved

to withdraw, and Caldwell has filed a pro se supplemental brief. We conclude that

Caldwell’s claims of ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel should be

raised, if at all, in a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. See United States v.

Ramirez-Hernandez, 449 F.3d 824, 827 (8th Cir. 2006). The challenges to his

convictions and sentence that he attempts to raise in this appeal after remand had to

be raised in his first appeal and are beyond the scope of this court’s remand. See

United States v. Walterman, 408 F.3d 1084, 1085-86 (8th Cir. 2005).

After reviewing the record independently under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75

(1988), and finding no non-frivolous issues, we affirm the judgment of the district

court, grant counsel’s withdrawal motion, and deny as moot Caldwell’s motion for the

appointment of new counsel on appeal.
