California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Izaguirre, B280354 (Cal. App. 2018):
In the context of the overwhelming case against appellant, we conclude he suffered no conceivable prejudice from his counsel's allegedly deficient performance. (People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1126 [" ' "[A] court need not determine whether counsel's performance was deficient before examining the prejudice suffered by the defendant as a result of the alleged deficiencies." ' "].)
