The following excerpt is from People v. Davis, B237536 (Cal. App. 2013):
Defendant asserts that if there was a forfeiture by failing to object, that failure constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. "[N]ormally a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is appropriately raised in a petition for writ of habeas corpus [citation], where relevant facts and circumstances not reflected in the record on appeal . . . can be brought to light." (People v. Snow (2003) 30 Cal.4th 43, 111; see People v. Mendoza Tello (1997) 15 Cal.4th 264, 266-267.)
