United States Tenth Circuit

In a habeas matter involving drug distribution, the denial of Petitioner's petition is affirmed, where Petitioner failed to show prejudice based on his counsel's allegedly ineffective performance, because there was no reasonable probability that the state court would have imposed a sentence of less than twenty years had counsel not made his alleged errors.
