United States Sixth Circuit

Denial of a petition for habeas corpus raising claims of double jeopardy and insufficient evidence is affirmed where, although petitioner's counsel provided ineffective assistance in failing to advise him with notice of a judgment, petitioner could not rely on ineffective assistance of counsel to overcome the procedural default of his claims because he failed to show prejudice.
