What is the test for a defendant to argue that the trial court erred by rejecting defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Scarber, F068908 (Cal. App. 2019):

Defendant first contends the trial court did not apply the correct legal authority to all the evidence within the entire record. We can only surmise, from the snippet defendant quotes from United States v. Cronic (1984) 466 U.S. 648, 656, that defendant means the trial court erred by rejecting defendant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Even if the trial court reached the wrong result (it did not), this would not mean it failed to apply the correct legal authority.
