United States v. Davis
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
This cause came on to be heard on the record from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and was argued by counsel.
ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, it is now hereby ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the judgment of said District Court be and it hereby is affirmed.
Defendant Gaylord Davis appeals from a judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York convicting him, following a jury trial before I. Leo Glasser, Judge, of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), and sentencing him principally to 63 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by a three-year term of supervised release. On appeal, Davis, represented by new counsel, contends that he received constitutionally ineffective assistance from the attorney who represented him at trial. Finding no merit in his contentions, we affirm.
In order to prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, a defendant must show both that counsel’s representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness under prevailing professional norms, and that there is a reason
We have considered all of Davis’s contentions on this appeal and have found them to be without merit. The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
