Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit August 14, 1998, No. 97-55171 (Canales v. Roe)

FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judge:

Carlos Renan-Perez Canales appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition, in which he claimed ineffective assistance of counsel. Canales argued that his trial attorney’s late filing of a notice of appeal triggered a rule of presumed prejudice that entitles him to habeas relief.
