How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that “a court may impute notice and knowledge of conditions when their violation entails a criminal act. [The defendant] is thus presumed to have notice at least that his [criminal] activities violated probation.”
• rejecting defendant's argument that probation term did not begin until parole had terminated; sentencing court ordered probation \to commence upon his release from prison\
• explaining that the reason habeas is often a preferable posture for ineffectiveness challenges is to establish “ ‘what counsel did, why it was done, and what, if any, prejudice resulted’ ” (quoting United States v. Pope, 841 F.2d 954, 958 (9th Cir. 1988))
• “As a general rule, we will not review challenges to the effectiveness of defense counsel on direct appeal.”
• attorney conduct during a hearing for revocation of probation
• “Challenge by way of a habeas corpus proceeding is preferable as it permits the defendant to develop a record as to what counsel did, why it was done, and what, if any, prejudice resulted.” (citation omitted)
