Habeas Corpus - Claims Relating Back/Ineffective Assistance
In Hodge v. United States, 2009 WL 235674 (Feb. 3, 2009), the Circuit held that defendant's ineffective assistance claim in his untimely supplemental memorandum and his right-to-appeal claim in his original habeas motion were tied to a common core of operative facts. Thus, the ineffective assistance claim relates back to his timely habeas motion, where both claims concerned erroneous advice provided by defendant's counsel regarding filing deadline for appeal. Failure to file notice of appeal was ineffective assistance.
