The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
Following a jury trial, Tony Maurice Howard was found guilty of two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. After the denial of his motion for new trial, Howard appealed to this Court. We affirmed the judgment in an unpublished opinion on April 23, 2024. See Case No. A24A0271. Upon remittitur, Howard filed the instant notice of appeal, seeking review of his judgment of conviction and sentence. We lack jurisdiction.

Howard has already had a direct appeal from the judgment of conviction, which we affirmed. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
