How later courts describe this case

  • where the federal court applied Strickland to address attorney conflicts outside the multiple or serial client context
  • “As long as a sentence carries a mandatory special assessment, it is a separate punishment for double jeopardy purposes.”
  • the Sullivan “test sets a lower threshold for reversal of a criminal conviction than does Strickland” and applies only to Sixth Amendment claims involving multiple representation
