Woolsey v. U.S.

3 Citing cases

  1. Dye v. United States

    Criminal 7:19-CR-14 (WLS) (M.D. Ga. May. 10, 2022)

    The two-prong Strickland test applies to guilty plea challenges, although “[i]n the context of a guilty plea, the first prong of Strickland requires petitioner to show his plea was not voluntary because he received advice from counsel that was not within the range of competence demanded of attorneys in criminal cases, while the second prong requires petitioner to show a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's errors, he would have entered a different plea.” Woolsey v. United States, 2011 WL 195412, *2 (M.D.Fla.)(citing Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 56-59 (1985)). Thus, the prejudice requirement “focuses on whether counsel's constitutionally ineffective performance affected the outcome of the plea process.
