How have the courts dealt with ineffective assistance of counsel in sentencing cases?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Vasquez-Navarro, 91 F.3d 157 (9th Cir. 1996):
1 Vasquez-Navarro also claims ineffective assistance of counsel on two sentencing claims set forth in his table of contents. However, he did not raise the claims in the district court, and does not present any argument in his opening brief. Therefore, we will not address these issues on appeal. See United States v. Conkins, 9 F.3d 1377, 1382 (9th Cir.1993).
