Somee (Akaphong) v. State ( 2013 )


Menu:
  • eligibility date for the Arkansas conviction did not factor into the
    sentencing court's decision; (3) counsel was not ineffective; and (4) Somee
    failed to demonstrate prejudice. Our review of the record reveals that the
    district court's factual findings are supported by substantial evidence and
    are not clearly wrong, and Somee has not demonstrated that the district
    court erred as a matter of law.   See Strickland v. Washington, 
    466 U.S. 668
    , 687 (1984) (establishing a two-part test for ineffective assistance of
    counsel); Kirksey v. State, 
    112 Nev. 980
    , 987, 
    923 P.2d 1102
    , 1107 (1996)
    (adopting test in Strickland); see also Means v. State, 
    120 Nev. 1001
    , 1012,
    
    103 P.3d 25
    , 33 (2004) (petitioner must prove the facts underlying his
    claims of ineffective assistance of counsel by a preponderance of the
    evidence). Accordingly, we
    ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
