MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Clark v. Arnold, 769 F.3d 711 (9th Cir. 2014):
counsel did not fall below an objective standard of reasonableness. See Wiggins v. Smith, 539 U.S. 510, 521, 123 S.Ct. 2527, 156 L.Ed.2d 471 (2003) ; see also Mancuso v. Olivarez, 292 F.3d 939, 954 (9th Cir.2002) (We will not second-guess such decisions or use hindsight to reconstruct the circumstances of counsel's challenged conduct.).
