The following excerpt is from People v. Brown, F067700 (Cal. App. 2014):
To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on appeal, a defendant must demonstrate that counsel's representation fell below professional norms and that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different. (See Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 687, 695.)
