The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Blau, 159 F.3d 68 (2nd Cir. 1998):
The question of whether a defendant's lawyer's representation violates the Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel is a mixed question of law and fact that is reviewed de novo. See United States v. Kliti, 156 F.3d 150, 153-54 (2d Cir.1998) (citing United States v. Stantini, 85 F.3d 9, 16 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 117 S.Ct. 498, 136 L.Ed.2d 390 (1996).)
