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.
