United States v. Erik Dehlinger ( 2014 )

GREGORY, Circuit Judge,

concurring in the judgment:

I concur in the judgment of the Court. While the evidence demonstrates that En-gelhard’s decisions bear some relationship to the fact that he represented LaGrand, Dehlinger fails to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Engelhard based his decisions on his loyalty to LaGrand. The absence of a causal link between the conflict of interests and Engelhard’s decisions is the basis for denying relief.
