Summary
denying Petitioner's ineffective assistance claim that trial counsel “failed to make appropriate objections during the proceedings, including failure to object to the [hearsay] testimony of a customs agent” concluding that “even if statement [at issue] was hearsay, counsel's conduct was not unreasonable under the circumstances and is not a ground for reversal now. [Because] ‘[a]ctions or omissions by counsel that might be considered sound trial strategy do not constitute ineffective assistance.'”
