The following excerpt is from People v. Adams, A147784 (Cal. App. 2018):
54.) We reject his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel (based on failure to request a correct instruction on imperfect self-defense) because he cannot establish prejudice. (See People v. Lewis (2001) 25 Cal.4th 610, 646 [where alleged instructional error was harmless, claim of ineffective assistance based on defense counsel's failure to request jury instruction also failed].)
