United States Sixth Circuit
Thompson v. Warden, Belmont Corr. Inst., 08-3743
District court's grant of defendant's request for habeas relief, convicted of stealing a motor vehicle, possession of crack cocaine, carrying a concealed weapon, and receiving stolen property, is reversed as defendant cannot succeed on his ineffective assistance of counsel claim as he fails to satisfy the deficient performance prong of Strickland as he cannot show that his counsel performed deficiently by failing to raise a Blakely claim.
