283 Ga. 156, 160 (656 SE2d 814) (2008). 3. In his final enumeration of error, appellant, who is now represented by new appellate counsel, asks this Court to remand his case to the trial court to obtain trial counsel’s testimony with respect to his claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel, a claim raised by his first appellate counsel on motion for new trial. Claims of trial counsel ineffectiveness must be raised at the earliest practicable opportunity See Lewis v. State, 291 Ga. 273, 281 (731 SE2d 51) (2012); Ruiz v. State, 286 Ga. 146, 148 (1) (b) (686 SE2d 253) (2009). Only where no opportunity existed for the defendant to raise an ineffectiveness claim prior to appeal have cases been remanded for a hearing. See, e.g., Green v. State, 295 Ga. 108, 112 (757 SE2d 856) (2014) (<HOLDING>). Here, appellant not only had the opportunity
recognizing a constitutional claim for ineffective assistance of counsel holding no ineffective assistance of appellate counsel claim for failure to raise as basis for appeal of conviction ineffective assistance of trial counsel where basis for the latter claim was inadequate recognizing that the defendant whose trial counsel represented him on motion for new trial had no opportunity to raise an ineffective assistance of counsel claim prior to appeal and remanding the case for a hearing solely on this issue holding that where trial counsel was not ineffective appellate counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise claim of ineffectiveness of trial counsel holding that res judicata does not bar a defendant from raising a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel for the first time in a postcollateral proceeding if the defendant was represented by the same counsel at trial and on direct appeal or if an actual conflict of interest enjoined appellate counsel from raising a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel on direct appeal
