¶1. Rashad Smith was tried in Lincoln County Circuit Court on a two-count indictment. Prior to trial, the court granted the State's motion to amend the indictment to allege Smith's habitual-offender status, but a written order amending the indictment was not entered. A nolle prosequi order was subsequently entered on Count I of the indictment, and the jury found Smith guilty on Count II (unauthorized possession of a cell phone in the Lincoln County jail). The trial court sentenced Smith to serve fifteen years, day for day, as a habitual offender.
¶2. On appeal, Smith asserts that (1) his conviction should be reversed and rendered because the State's evidence was insufficient for a conviction under the indictment as drafted, or, alternatively, he is entitled to a new trial because the verdict was contrary to the overwhelming weight of evidence; and (2) he received ineffective assistance of counsel because the indictment in this case was never properly amended to authorize sentencing as a habitual offender and his counsel failed to object, thereby waiving this issue for appellate review. We find no merit to Smith's first assignment of error, and we deny Smith's ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim without prejudice to his right to pursue relief on this alleged error in a petition for post-conviction relief.
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND COURSE OF PROCEEDINGS
¶3. On August 16, 2017, Smith was tried in Lincoln County Circuit Court on a two-count indictment. Count I of the indictment charged Smith with possession of marijuana in the Lincoln County jail. After the jury deadlocked on Count I, the State requested and was granted a nolle prosequi order on that count. Count II of the indictment charged Smith with unauthorized possession of a cell phone in the Lincoln County jail, in violation of Mississippi Code Annotated section 47-5-193 (Rev. 2015). The jury found Smith guilty on Count II, and he was sentenced to serve fifteen years as a habitual offender under Mississippi Code Annotated section 99-19-81 (Rev. 2015).
¶4. The original indictment did not allege that Smith was a habitual offender. Prior to trial, the State moved to amend the indictment to allege Smith's habitual-offender status. That motion was heard on June 26, 2017. At the hearing, the trial court ruled on the record that the State met its burden for the indictment to be amended to include a habitual-offender sentencing enhancement, but the record reflects that no order to that effect was entered.1
*104¶5. At the one-day trial held on August 26, 2017, the State's witness, Correctional Officer Larry Morris, testified that on September 28, 2015, Rashad Smith "turned himself in" to the Lincoln County jail because his twin brother, Rashan, was mistakenly in jail instead of Rashad. On cross examination, Officer Morris was asked whether he told Smith what he could and could not bring to the jail when Smith phoned in to advise that he was turning himself in. Officer Morris responded, "No," and then he stated that Smith had "been down [to the jail] before so I didn't have to [give him any instructions]."
¶6. Officer Morris testified that when Smith arrived at the jail, Smith was brought in through one locked door and was taken to the booking area to be processed. He further testified that before he (Morris) was able to get Smith booked in, Smith grabbed a jail uniform off of a shelf along with a mat that the jail provides, went in another area, and changed his clothes. According to Officer Morris, Smith was in "a hurry to get dressed out and to go upstairs." Officer Morris said he told Smith that before he could go upstairs, Morris needed to finish booking him and that he needed to be searched. At that point, Officer Morris testified, Smith put his belongings on the counter, and several items that were rolled up with the jail-issued mat started falling out, including two cell phones and some marijuana. Officer Morris turned these items over to Brookhaven Police Investigator Lisa Jackson who turned them over to Lincoln County Chief Deputy Johnny Hall.
¶7. The State's witness, Chief Deputy Johnny Hall, testified that he investigated the September 28, 2015 incident, and that when he interviewed Smith, Smith told him that he was bringing the cell phones in with "the help" of Officer Morris. Hall further testified that this allegation was never confirmed. The State also established through Chief Deputy Hall's testimony that the Lincoln County jail is a correctional facility in Brookhaven, Lincoln County, Mississippi.
¶8. At the close of the State's case, defense counsel moved for a directed verdict, which the trial court denied. Smith did not testify at trial, and the defense presented no other witnesses.
¶9. The court instructed the jury which found Smith guilty of possession of a cell phone in a correctional facility under Count II of the indictment.
¶10. Following the announcement of the jury verdict, the trial court proceeded with the sentencing hearing. At that hearing, the trial court read the jury's verdict on the record and then stated that at "a motion hearing ... on June 26th of 2017, the [c]ourt found beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Smith was an habitual criminal within the meaning of section 99-19-81." Defense counsel stated on the record that he had no objection to sentencing proceedings going forward, and there is no indication in the record that defense counsel made any objection to the absence of a written order allowing the amendment to the indictment to reflect Smith's habitual-offender status. The trial court sentenced Smith to fifteen years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC), to be served day for day pursuant to section 99-19-81. Following the denial of his motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV), or, alternatively, for a new trial, Smith appeals.
II. LAW AND ANALYSIS
A. The State's Alleged Failure of Proof
¶11. Smith asserts that the State failed to prove two statutory elements of *105section 47-5-193 and one non-statutory factual allegation charged in Count II of the indictment, and, therefore, the trial court erred in denying his JNOV motion, or, alternatively, the trial court erred in denying his motion for a new trial. We find that these assertions are without merit because we find that the State was not required to prove these elements, as discussed below.
1. The Statutory Elements Under Section 47-5-193
¶12. Count II of Smith's indictment charged him with violating section 47-5-193. In McCollum v. State , 81 So.3d 1191 (Miss. Ct. App. 2012), we examined section 47-5-193 and held that "[i]t is clear the statute considers that the possession of contraband and the taking of contraband are two separate crimes." Id. at 1192 (¶6). We found that the first sentence in section 47-5-193 "makes possession of contraband unlawful." Id. The statute provides:
It is unlawful for any officer or employee of the department, of any county sheriff's department, of any private correctional facility in this state in which offenders are confined, of any municipal or other correctional facility in this state, or for any other person or offender to possess, furnish, attempt to furnish, or assist in furnishing to any offender confined in this state any ... cell phone or any of its components or accessories to include, but not limited to, Subscriber Information Module (SIM) cards or chargers.
Miss. Code Ann. § 47-5-193. The second sentence of section 47-5-193 makes the "taking of contraband unlawful." McCollum , 81 So.3d at 1192 (¶6). The statute provides:
It is unlawful for any person or offender to take, attempt to take, or assist in taking any ... cell phone or any of its components or accessories to include, but not limited to, Subscriber Information Module (SIM) cards or chargers on property within the state belonging to the department, a county, a municipality, or other entity that is occupied or used by offenders, except as authorized by law.
Miss. Code Ann. § 47-5-193. Count II of Smith's indictment charged as follows:
[O]n or about September 28, 2015, in Lincoln County, Mississippi and within the jurisdiction of this court, Rashad J. Smith did wilfully, unlawfully, feloniously and knowingly possess a cell phone, to wit: a Nokia Smartphone, black in color bearing the IMEI number 353047069216952 in the Lincoln County Jail, a correctional facility, in Lincoln County, Mississippi, at a time when [Rashad J. Smith] was an inmate housed in the aforementioned correctional facility, contrary to and in violation of Section[ ] 47-5-193 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, this being count two of the indictment....
¶13. Smith asserts that the State failed to prove two statutory elements under section 47-5-193, namely, that the Lincoln County jail was "property belonging" to Lincoln County and that the property was "occupied or used by offenders." These statutory elements are found in the second sentence, not the first sentence, of section 47-5-193. After our review of the record, including Count II of the indictment, the applicable jury instruction setting forth the counts contained in the indictment, and the jury's verdict,2 we determine that Smith was indicted and convicted under the first sentence of section 47-5-193, *106namely "possession of a cell phone" in a correctional facility. We therefore find that the State was not required to prove the two statutory elements addressed in Smith's assignment of error because these elements are not essential to the "possession of a cell phone" crime charged under the first sentence of section 47-5-193.
¶14. McCollum is instructive on this issue. In that case McCollum argued that his indictment was defective because it merely stated that he "did wilfully, unlawfully, feloniously, and without authority have in his possession an unauthorized electronic device, cell phone, or other contraband item, to-wit: one (1) cell phone and two (2) SIM cards[,]" and did not include, among other information, the phrase "on property belonging to the Department of Corrections." McCollum , 81 So.3d at 1192 (¶5). We rejected McCollum's argument as follows: "McCollum was charged with possession of contraband; therefore, the indictment did not need to include the essential elements for the crime of taking of contraband. The indictment properly charged McCollum with the essential elements of possession of contraband in a correctional facility. Accordingly, this issue is without merit." Id. at 1192 (¶7).
¶15. Based on the same reasoning, we find in this case that section 47-5-193 is not ambiguous and that a plain reading of the first sentence of section 47-5-193 shows that it does not require proof that the jail belonged to Lincoln County or that it was occupied or used by offenders. Although the first sentence of section 47-5-193 contains the phrase "in which offenders are confined," that language modifies "officer or employee" and not "any other person or offender." We therefore find no merit in Smith's assertion that the State was required to prove these two statutory elements under section 47-5-193.
2. The Factual Allegation in the Indictment that Smith Was an "Inmate" in the Lincoln County Jail
¶16. Smith also asserts that because Count II of the indictment provided that Smith was an "inmate housed" in the Lincoln County jail, the State was required to prove that Smith was an inmate at the jail, even though this is not a statutory element under section 47-5-193. We recognize that in Richmond v. State , 751 So.2d 1038 (Miss. 1999), which is a case Smith relies upon for this proposition, the Mississippi Supreme Court held that an indictment's reference to the value of property had to be proven even though value was not an element of the offense charged. Richmond , 751 So.2d at 1045-46 (¶¶17-19). The supreme court recently distinguished Richmond in Smith v. State , 250 So.3d 421 (Miss. 2018), and we find that the Smith court's analysis supports our determination here that the State was not required to prove that Smith was an "inmate" in the Lincoln County jail in this case.
¶17. In Smith the defendant was charged with armed robbery and that the indictment listed the specific property stolen. Smith , 250 So.3d at 424-25 (¶13). Relying on Richmond , the defendant (Rickie Omar Smith) argued that the State increased its burden by listing the stolen property in the indictment, and because it did so, the State was required to prove that Smith stole each specified item. Smith , 250 So.3d at 426 (¶17). The supreme court disagreed, beginning its analysis by distinguishing Richmond . Smith , at 426-29 (¶¶18-28).
¶18. In Richmond , the Smith court explained that the defendant was charged with motor vehicle theft, but the indictment included the value of the vehicle allegedly stolen (which is not an element of the crime of motor vehicle theft) but is an essential element for the different crime of *107grand larceny. Smith , 250 So.3d at 426 (¶18) (citing Richmond , 751 So.2d at 1042 (¶¶8-9) ). As the Smith court explained, the Richmond court affirmed the trial court's decision to require the State to prove the value element, recognizing that the State had " 'handicapped itself through the indictment by adding an unnecessary element of proof.' " Smith , 250 So.3d at 427 (¶21) (quoting Richmond , 751 So.2d at 1046 (¶19) ).
¶19. Comparing the circumstances before it to those before the Richmond court, the Smith court observed that "[u]nlike the substantive change described in Richmond , where the value of the motor vehicle arguably changed the crime from motor vehicle theft to grand larceny, the identity or lack thereof of personal property in an armed robbery does not change the crime." Smith , 250 So.3d at 427 (¶22). Accordingly, the Smith court determined that the State was not required to prove that every item listed on the indictment had been taken by Smith or his accomplices. Id. at 427-29 (¶¶22-30).
¶20. We find that the same analysis applies here. Section 47-5-193 makes it unlawful "for any ... person or offender" to possess a cell phone in a correctional facility. Miss. Code Ann. § 47-5-193 ; see Houston v. State , 150 So.3d 157, 159 (¶9) (Miss. Ct. App. 2014). Whether Smith was an "inmate" at the facility or simply a "person" at the facility does not change the crime charged-possession of a cell phone in a correctional facility. We therefore find that the State was not required to prove that Smith was an "inmate" at the Lincoln County jail because this factual allegation does not change the crime charged. Smith , 250 So.3d at 427-29 (¶¶22-30).
¶21. Smith also cites Cooley v. State , 803 So.2d 485 (Miss. Ct. App. 2001), as support for his assertion that the State must prove that Smith was an inmate because that term was used in the indictment. We find, however, that Cooley does not support Smith's argument.
¶22. In Cooley , the defendant "was charged with aggravated assault by use of a deadly weapon identified as a hatchet," pursuant to Mississippi Code Annotated section 97-3-7(2)(b) (Rev. 2000), which was the statute in effect when Cooley committed the crime. Cooley , 803 So.2d at 487 (¶4). This Court held that "the State elected to indict Cooley for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. It was therefore incumbent upon the State to either prove that an instrument which by its very nature is a deadly weapon was used, or that an instrument was used which[ ] the jury, as finder of fact, could determine was a deadly weapon." Id. at 489 (¶12). Because "[t]here is no testimony that a hatchet or any other deadly weapon was used ," id. at 489 (¶13) (emphasis added), this Court reversed and rendered a simple assault conviction. Id. at (¶15) ; see also id. at 488 (¶10) ("There is no evidence of the use of a deadly weapon to make this aggravated assault pursuant to section 97-3-7(2)(b).").
¶23. This language from Cooley shows that the State was held to prove the statutory element of proof (a "deadly weapon") and not the particular weapon used (the hatchet), even though the hatchet was identified in the indictment. Id.3 In Smith's *108case, we find that the State was not required to prove that Smith was an "inmate" at the Lincoln County jail because all that section 47-5-193 requires is that Smith be either a "person or offender" in possession of a cell phone at the facility.
¶24. Smith also cites Tyler v. State , 69 Miss. 395, 11 So. 25 (1892), in support of his assertion that the phrase in the indictment "an inmate housed" was not surplusage and therefore must be proven as charged. But the supreme court recognized in Tyler that "[w]here the entire averment, of which the descriptive matter is a part, is surplusage, it may be rejected, and the descriptive averment need not be proved." Tyler , 69 Miss. at 397, 11 So. at 25. On the other hand, a factual averment in an indictment "must be proved as charged wherever, if the person, thing, act, place, or time to which it refers was struck from the indictment, no offense would be charged." Id. In Smith's case, eliminating the phrase "an inmate housed" from the indictment would still state the offense charged, as follows:
[O]n or about September 28, 2015, in Lincoln County, Mississippi and within the jurisdiction of this court, Rashad J. Smith did wilfully, unlawfully, feloniously and knowingly possess a cell phone, to wit: a Nokia Smartphone, black in color bearing the IMEI number 353047069216952 in the Lincoln County Jail, a correctional facility, in Lincoln County, Mississippi, at a time when [Rashad J. Smith] was an inmate housed in the aforementioned correctional facility, contrary to and in violation of Section[ ] 47-5-193 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, this being count two of the indictment....
Thus, under Tyler , "an inmate housed" is surplusage and need not be proven. Tyler , 69 Miss. at 397, 11 So. at 25.
¶25. Finally, we observe that the record reflects that the jury was specifically instructed on Count II as follows:
RASHAD J. SMITH has been charged with unlawful possession of a cell phone in a correctional facility. If you find from the evidence in this case beyond a reasonable doubt that:
RASHAD J. SMITH, on or about September 28, 2015, in Lincoln County, Mississippi, knowingly and feloniously possessed a cell phone, to-wit: a Nokia smartphone bearing number 353047069216952, while the said Rashad J. Smith was an inmate housed in the Lincoln County jail , a correctional facility; then you shall find the defendant "guilty of unlawful possession of a cell phone in a correctional facility."
However, it the State has failed to prove any one or more of the above listed elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt, then you shall find the defendant not guilty as to Count [II].
(Emphasis added). Having found that Smith was "guilty of unlawful possession of a cell phone in a correctional facility," the jury necessarily found that Smith was "an inmate housed in the Lincoln County jail," as instructed. Evans v. State , 226 So.3d 1, 32 (¶83) (Miss. 2017) ("The jury is presumed to follow the instructions given by the trial court."). We therefore reject Smith's argument for this additional reason.
¶26. In sum, because Smith's only challenge to the sufficiency or weight of the evidence is based upon three elements that we find the State was not required to *109prove, we find no merit in Smith's assertion that the trial court erred in denying his JNOV motion or, alternatively, his motion for a new trial.
3. The Sufficiency or Weight of the Evidence
¶27. In any event, assuming for the sake of argument that the State was required to prove that Smith was an "inmate" of the Lincoln County jail, we find that the State submitted sufficient evidence to support Smith's conviction and that the verdict was not against the overwhelming weight of the evidence.
a. The Sufficiency of the Evidence
¶28. "The denial of a JNOV motion is reviewed de novo because it is a challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence." Wilson v. State , No. 2017-KA-01197-COA, 276 So.3d 1241, 1262 (¶57), 2018 WL 6498709, at *13 (¶57) (Miss. Ct. App. Dec. 11, 2018) (internal quotation mark omitted). "In reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence, the relevant question is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." Id. "This Court may only reverse a denial of a JNOV motion when, with respect to one or more of the elements of the offense charged, the evidence so considered is such that reasonable and fair-minded jurors could only find the accused not guilty." Id.
¶29. Smith relies on Brooks v. Pennington , 995 So.2d 733 (Miss. Ct. App. 2007), in asserting that the State failed to prove he was an "inmate" at the Lincoln County jail. We find that the unique facts in Brooks make it inapplicable here. In Brooks , Willie Lee Brooks pleaded guilty to driving under the influence (DUI) and, in relevant part, was sentenced to serve six months in the Rankin County jail with five months of that time suspended. Brooks subsequently sued the Rankin County Sheriff and his bail bond surety for false imprisonment, among other claims, when Brooks was re-incarcerated upon his surrender by his bail bondsman when Brooks failed to pay his bond surety. Brooks , 995 So.2d at 736-37 (¶¶1-4). At the time of his surrender and re-incarceration, Brooks had already served his DUI jail sentence. Id. at 736 (¶¶1-2).
¶30. Among other issues, Brooks appealed the trial court's determination that the sheriff was immune from liability under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act (MTCA), specifically Mississippi Code Annotated section 11-46-9(1)(m) (Rev. 2002), which provides for immunity for any claim "[o]f any claimant who at the time the claim arises is an inmate of any ... jail ....' " Miss. Code Ann. § 11-46-9(1)(m) ; see Brooks , 995 So.2d at 736 (¶3). The Court addressed whether Brooks was an "inmate" at the time he was surrendered by the bondsman by addressing a number of duties the jailors' were required to satisfy before accepting Brooks as an inmate. Id. at 738-39 (¶10). These duties included the duty to "identify the defendant ... [and to] use reasonable care to verify that the bond upon which the accused is being surrendered is presently valid and binding on the principal and surety." Id. The Court found that "there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether [these] duties ... were breached, as well as to Brooks's damages." Id. at 739 (¶11).
¶31. Whether Smith was an "inmate" in this case is wholly distinguishable from determining whether Brooks was an inmate based upon the special duties that apply only when an arrestee is surrendered by a bondsman, as the Court addressed in Brooks . Smith was not brought in through a bail bondsman; he turned himself in. Further, Smith, by his own *110actions, initially bypassed the booking-in process in a rush to "go upstairs," as we detail below.
¶32. Section 47-5-193 does not contain the word "inmate," thus we look to the ordinary usage of the word "inmate" in determining the sufficiency of the evidence as to Smith's inmate status here. See Hall v. State , 241 So.3d 629, 631 (¶7) (Miss. 2018) ("This Court frequently looks to dictionaries to ascertain the meaning of a word in its common or popular sense."). "Inmate" is defined in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language as "a person confined to an institution, such as a prison or hospital." The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 930 (3rd ed. 1992). Based on our review of the record, we find that the State presented sufficient evidence at trial for a competent jury to find that Smith was an "inmate"-i.e., "a person confined to" the Lincoln County jail.
¶33. Officer Larry Morris testified that Smith had "turned himself in" to the Lincoln County jail and was taken through locked doors to the booking area. Officer Morris further testified that before Smith could be processed through normal procedures, Smith grabbed a jail uniform off of a shelf along with a mat provided by the jail, went in another area, and changed into the jail uniform. Smith came out in his jail uniform with his jail-issued mat and told Officer Morris that he was ready to go "upstairs." Officer Morris told him that he first needed to be searched and that the booking process needed to be completed. At this point, Smith put his belongings on the counter, and the Nokia cell phone, among other items, fell out of the rolled up mat.
¶34. Although the booking process had not been completed, Smith was in a locked area, dressed in a jail uniform, and was not free to leave. Smith himself expressed that he was ready to go "upstairs." The jury reviewed the evidence presented at trial in its entirety and determined which facts were to be accepted as true or rejected as false. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, reasonable jurors could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that Smith was "confined" in the Lincoln County jail, thus meeting the "inmate" factual allegation in the indictment. Gillett v. State , 56 So.3d 469, 505 (¶102) (Miss. 2010) ("The jury determines the weight and credibility to give witness testimony and other evidence. This Court may not pass upon the credibility of witnesses and, where the evidence justifies a verdict, it must be accepted as having been found worthy of belief.") (citation and internal quotation mark omitted). We therefore find that the trial court did not err in denying Smith's JNOV motion.
b. The Weight of the Evidence
¶35. Based upon the same evidence and testimony addressed above, we also reject Smith's alternative argument that the trial court erred when it denied his motion for a new trial because the verdict was against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. "Appellate courts review a trial court's decision to deny a motion for a new trial utilizing an abuse-of-discretion standard of review.... When considering a challenge to the weight of the evidence, the verdict will only be disturbed when it is so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence that to allow it to stand would sanction an unconscionable injustice." Pruitt v. State , 122 So.3d 806, 809 (¶6) (Miss. Ct. App. 2013). It is the jury's role to assess the weight and credibility of the evidence. Id. at 809 (¶8). Taking the evidence that supports the jury's verdict as true as outlined above and reviewing it in the light most favorable to the verdict, we find that allowing the verdict *111to stand would not sanction an "unconscionable injustice." Id. at 809 (¶¶6-8).
B. Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
¶36. As addressed above, the State did not allege that Smith was a habitual offender in the original indictment against him. The State subsequently moved to amend the indictment to allege habitual-offender status. At the June 2017 hearing on that motion, the trial court ruled on the record that the State met its burden for the indictment to be amended to include a habitual-offender sentencing enhancement. The record reflects, however, that no order was entered amending the indictment to charge Smith as a habitual offender, and the defense did not object to the absence of such an order. Smith asserts that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his lawyer did not object to the absence of a written order allowing the indictment to be amended as required by Mississippi Code Annotated section 99-17-15 (Rev. 2015),4 resulting in a waiver of this issue on appeal. See Reed v. State , 506 So.2d 277, 279 (Miss. 1987).
¶37. In Reed , the Mississippi Supreme Court held that "[t]he State is required to make sure that such an order [amending an indictment] appears in the record," and the failure to do so renders the amendment ineffective. Id. ; see also MRCrP 14.1(b) (effective July 1, 2017) (indictment must contain penalty enhancement information or formal notice must be filed at least 30 days prior to trial or entry of a guilty plea). "[T]he defense is required to object to the absence of such order if it wishes to preserve th[e] point for appeal." Reed , 506 So.2d at 279. For the reasons explained below, we deny Smith's ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim without prejudice to his right to seek relief as to this claimed error in a properly filed petition for post-conviction relief. Miss. Code Ann. § 99-39-7 (Rev. 2015) (providing that when the petitioner's conviction and sentence have been affirmed on direct appeal, the petitioner must obtain leave of the Mississippi Supreme Court before filing a petition for post conviction relief in the circuit court).
¶38. This Court will "only consider an ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim on direct appeal when: (1) the record affirmatively shows ineffectiveness of constitutional dimensions, or (2) the parties stipulate that the record is adequate to allow the appellate court to make the finding without consideration of the findings of fact of the trial judge." Nelson v. State , 222 So.3d 318, 322 (¶5) (Miss. Ct. App. 2017) (internal quotation marks omitted). Although Smith stipulates to the record's adequacy on this point, the State does not. As such, in deciding whether to go forward on this issue, this Court must determine whether the record affirmatively shows that Smith was denied ineffective assistance of counsel. See Williams v. State , 228 So.3d 949, 952 (¶12) (Miss. Ct. App. 2017).
¶39. To establish his ineffective-assistance claim, Smith must "prove, under the totality of the circumstances that (1) his attorney's performance was defective and (2) the deficiency deprived the defendant of a fair trial." Collins v. State , 221 So.3d 366, 372 (¶20) (Miss. Ct. App. 2016) ; see *112Strickland v. Washington , 466 U.S. 668, 687, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). In this regard, "a presumption exists that an attorney's performance falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance and that the decisions made by trial counsel are strategic." Braggs v. State , 121 So.3d 269, 273 (¶11) (Miss. Ct. App. 2013) ; Collins , 221 So.3d at 372 (¶20).
¶40. With this standard in mind, our review of the record indicates that Smith's assignment of error on this point is beyond the contents of the record. We recognize, as the dissent points out, that even if Smith's counsel had objected to the lack of an order in the record allowing the amended indictment, this would likely have simply triggered a request that the trial court enter an order on the ruling it had already made. Smith would have still been sentenced as a habitual offender. Under these circumstances, defense counsel's failure to object on this issue does not result in any prejudice to Smith, or deprive him of a fair trial. However, the decision as to whether to object or not constitutes a strategic decision fully outside the scope of the face of the record. We find that resolution of this issue is better left to be assessed on a complete record. Precedent reflects that on direct appeal, we will deny relief in those matters "where the record cannot support an ineffective assistance of counsel claim ... [and we will] preserv[e] the defendant's right to argue the same issue through a petition for post-conviction relief." Johnson v. State , 196 So.3d 973, 975 (¶8) (Miss. Ct.
