MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Frazer v. U.S., 18 F.3d 778 (9th Cir. 1994):
1 To avoid any possibility of misinterpretation of the scope of our holding, we note that this case involves only the right to counsel at trial. It is not intended to extend that right to other contexts where it currently does not exist. See Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, ----, 111 S.Ct. 2546, 2568, 115 L.Ed.2d 640 (1991).
