The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Johnson, 995 F.2d 234 (9th Cir. 1993):
Generally, we prefer to review ineffective assistance of counsel claims in petitions for habeas corpus. However, we will address the merits of an ineffective assistance claim on direct appeal "if the record is sufficiently complete to allow us to decide the issue." United States v. Molina, 934 F.2d 1440, 1446 (9th Cir.1991) (citations omitted). The record is sufficiently complete here.
