What is the procedure for bringing a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in this circuit?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Grant, 968 F.2d 1222 (9th Cir. 1992):

The customary procedure for raising a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in this circuit is by collateral attack under 28 U.S.C. 2255. United States v. Rewald, 889 F.2d 836, 859 (9th Cir.1989), amended, 902 F.2d 18, cert. denied, 111 S.Ct. 64 (1990). This procedure enables a district court to determine if the claim has merit and, if it does, to develop a record on which the issue can be decided. Therefore, we decline to address this issue on direct appeal. If Grant wishes to pursue this claim, he should do so in a habeas corpus proceeding.
