When will a defendant's claim be forfeited?

Defendant's claim is forfeited for lack of a clear ruling by the court that it would allow defendant's suppression hearing to be used in the prosecution's case-in-chief and a clear objection by defendant to the court's ruling on the constitutional ground raised in this appeal. (See People v. Partida (2005) 37 Cal.4th 428, 434-435.) Placed into its proper context, it does not appear the court was really ruling in the manner suggested by defendant in his appellate briefs. We decline defendant's invitation (first raised in his reply brief) to consider whether he received ineffective assistance of counsel with regard to defense counsel's representation at the suppression hearing.
