The following excerpt is from People v. Webster, G055789 (Cal. App. 2019):
Defendant's claim that his trial counsel's failure to object or request a limiting instruction was ineffective assistance of counsel also fails. To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that his trial counsel's representation failed to meet an objective standard of reasonableness, and that absent counsel's deficient performance, there is a reasonable probability the result would have been more favorable to defendant. (Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 687-688.)
