What is the test for ineffective counsel in a habeas corpus petition?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Ramirez v. Gasper, 886 F.2d 1320 (9th Cir. 1989):

We review the district court's decision to dismiss a petition for habeas corpus de novo, Harding v. Lewis, 834 F.2d 853, 856 (9th Cir.1987), and reverse.

To obtain relief for a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on a habeas corpus review, the petitioner must show both that his counsel's performance fell below objective standards of reasonableness and that he suffered prejudice because there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's deficient performance, the result of the proceeding would have been different. Rodriguez v. Ricketts, 798 F.2d 1250, 1253 (9th Cir.1986) (citing Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984)).
