United States Ninth Circuit

In a habeas corpus action, following the en banc court's overruling of prior circuit opinion concerning the proper standard for review of ineffective assistance of counsel claims in non-capital cases, the panel reinstated an amended version of its opinion relying on Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984), and affirmed the district court's denial of the petition where the state adjudication of petitioner's claim was not an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law.
