The following excerpt is from Huerta v. Marshall, 116 F.3d 484 (9th Cir. 1997):
We review de novo a district court's denial of a section 2254 habeas petition. See Sanders v. Ratelle, 21 F.3d 1446, 1451 (9th Cir.1994). A claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is a mixed question of law and fact reviewed de novo. See McDowell v. Calderon, 107 F.3d 1351, 1356 (9th Cir.1997).
