Finally, Barbour contends that she was denied effective assistance of counsel because her counsel did not request a jury trial. A plaintiff in a civil case generally has no federal constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel. See Nicholson v. Rushen, 767 F.2d 1426, 1427 (9th Cir.1985) (per curiam).
