. James Sessoms appeals from the judgment of conviction dated August 16, 2011 and entered by the district court on August 18, 2011. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, procedural history, a nd specification of issues for review. When presented with an ineffective assistance of counsel claim on direct appeal with new counsel, as in the current case, this Court can “(1) decline to hear the claim, permitting the appellant to raise the issue as part of a subsequent § 2255 petition; (2) remand the claim to the district court for necessary fact-finding; or (3 ) decide the claim on the record before us.” United States v. Leone , 215 F.3d 253, 256 (2d Cir. 2000). This case demands further factual development as to Sessoms’s ineffective assistance claim, and we thus decline to decide the claim on the record before us. We further determine that this matter should be presented, not in its current piecemeal fashion, but in a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition for a writ of habeas corpus, wherein all factual and evidentiary matters can be assessed in one proceeding. In addition to his claims based on the ineffective assistance of counsel, Appellant also contends that the indictment was multiplicative and that the district court erred in (1) failing to order the government to immunize a potential defense witness, (2) failing to grant a request for adjournment following the filing of the superseding indictment, (3) failing to instruct the jury as to venue, (4) failing to assign new counsel, and (5) imposing consecutive sentences under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) as required by Deal v. United States , 508 U.S. 129 (1993). We find these arguments to be without merit. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court hereby is AFFIRMED. We also note for the reference of the parties that the judgment submitted to this Court was missing page 1A, which listed the final five counts of conviction.
