appellate review. 1 Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

_____________________ Prior to the appointment of counsel for the appeal, Taylor filed this appeal pro se referencing a desire to bring a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Because this is a direct appeal of the original judgment, that statute is not properly before us. Our dismissal does not preclude the filing of an appropriate § 2255 claim in the district court.
