Are there any other claims of ineffective assistance of counsel barred because she failed to raise them on direct appeal?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Rojas v. United States, CASE NO. 17cr337-LAB, CASE NO. 18cv2445-LAB (S.D. Cal. 2019):

Rojas' claims other than those directly alleging ineffective assistance of counsel are also barred because she failed to raise them on direct appeal. "The general rule in federal habeas cases is that a defendant who fails to raise a claim on direct appeal is barred from raising the claim on collateral review." Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon, 548 U.S. 331, 350-51 (2006). A petitioner can overcome this bar only if he or she can show their failure to raise the issue was the result of good cause and resulted in prejudice. Id. at 351.
