MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Gomez v. Garcia, 81 F.3d 95 (9th Cir. 1996):
The law is crystal clear that if there is an actual conflict of interest counsel is disqualified. Cuyler v. Sullivan, 446 U.S. 335, 100 S.Ct. 1708, 64 L.Ed.2d 333 (1980); U.S. v. Miskinis, 966 F.2d 1263 (9th Cir.1992). To succeed on the constitutional claim, the petitioner for habeas corpus must show that a conflict exists. Here, none did.
