Is there any case law where a defendant alleges that both counsel at trial and appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Carbajal v. Arnold, No. 2:15-cv-01127-JKS (E.D. Cal. 2017):

Finally, Carbajal alleges that both his trial and appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance. To demonstrate ineffective assistance of counsel under Strickland v. Washington, a defendant must show both that his counsel's performance was deficient and that the deficient performance prejudiced his defense. 466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984). A deficient performance is one in which "counsel made errors so serious that counsel was not functioning as the 'counsel' guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment." Id.
