  • “fact that Petitioner characterizes 11 [Section 1170.95 claims] claims as a violation of his federal constitutional rights is not sufficient, 12 without more, to state a federal claim”
  • failure to investigate Miranda defense was not below the range of competence required where defendant failed to tell attorney about facts suggesting such a defense and insisted on going in another direction
