Woods v. Donald
| Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-618 | 6th Cir. | Not Argued | Mar 30, 2015 | TBD | Per Curiam | OT 2014 |
Holding: The lower court’s decision holding that an attorney provided per se ineffective assistance of counsel under United States v. Cronic when he was briefly absent during testimony concerning other defendants, is reversed, because no Supreme Court decision clearly establishes that the respondent in this case is entitled to relief under Cronic.
Judgment: Granted, reversed, and remanded in a per curiam opinion on March 30, 2015.
