Text: A jury convicted Randy Glover of conspiracy to manufacture, possess, and distribute methamphetamine. He was sentenced to 292 months’ imprisonment. We remanded Randy Glover’s case for an evidentiary hearing for the same reason outlined in our discussion of Mr. Youngpeter’s petition. See United States v. Randy Glover , No. 97-5239, 1998 WL 544408, at  (10th Cir. Aug. 27, 1998). Randy Glover now appeals from the district court’s denial of his § 2255 motion after the evidentiary hearing. -14- Randy Glover’s counsel has filed an Anders brief, together with his amended motion to withdraw, in which he advises this court that Randy Glover’s appeal has no merit. See Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967) (requiring counsel to accompany a request to withdraw with “a brief referring to anything in the record that might arguably support the appeal”). Per Randy Glover’s instruction, counsel has also filed a motion for appointment of new counsel under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA). In response to counsel’s Anders brief, Randy Glover filed a pro se brief detailing why his appeal is not frivolous. He argues that: (1) COA is not required because of this court’s earlier grant of a COA in his case; (2) the district court erred in permitting forensic evidence and should have collaterally estopped the government’s evidence. As to Randy Glover’s first assertion, in its remand order, this court reversed the district court’s judgment denying Randy Glover’s § 2255 motion. See Randy Glover , 1998 WL 544408, at . Therefore, when the district court entered its order after remand denying the motion after the hearing, that constituted the new “final order,” the denial from which Randy Glover now seeks to appeal. To appeal that final order, he must obtain a new certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B). Randy Glover’s second issue has -15- already been addressed above. Accordingly, we deny his requests for COA and new CJA counsel, and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
