The following excerpt is from Ocampo-Villanueva v. United States, Civ. Case No. 12cv0928 BTM, Crim. Case No.11cr2342 BTM (S.D. Cal. 2012):
Last, Defendant has alleged that his attorney failed to help during interviews. Defendant, however, has not specified which interviews or which acts or omissions were allegedly deficient. This claim is also conclusory, and therefore Defendant fails to state a viable claim for ineffective assistance of counsel. See James v. Borg, 24 F.3d 20, 26 (9th Cir. 1994) ("Conclusory allegations which are not supported by a statement of specific facts do not warrant habeas relief.").
