The following excerpt is from Cooper v. Fitzharris, 586 F.2d 1325 (9th Cir. 1978):
Finally, if appellant's counsel erred in not telling appellant of his right to appeal, the error was of no consequence. The district court found that appellant knew of his appellate rights independently of counsel, 18 and that finding is not clearly erroneous. See Whitney v. Craven, 460 F.2d 1267 (9th Cir. 1972).
