The following excerpt is from U.S. v. $30,440 in U.S. Currency, 2 F.3d 328 (9th Cir. 1993):
As a regular matter we will not consider on appeal an objection not raised at trial. Jovanovich v. United States, 813 F.2d 1035, 1037 (9th Cir.1987). However, as the ineffective assistance of counsel at trial will generally not be raised by the lawyer whose competence is questioned, we will entertain this unusual claim on this appeal. See id.
