California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gomez, G049890 (Cal. App. 2015):
1. Although appellant forfeited this claim by failing to raise it in the trial court (People v. Samayoa (1997) 15 Cal.4th 795, 841), we will consider it because he contends his attorney was ineffective for failing to do so. (People v. Coffman and Marlow (2004) 34 Cal.4th 1, 82.)
