Question Presented (from Petition)

Is it correct a conflict of interest claim "does not depend on the outcome of the case as in a more typical [federal] analysis." and is instead satisfied so long as the defendant establishes there was an actual conflict of interest?

Did the court violate My [U.S. Const. 6th Amend.]; Wood v. Georgia [1981] 450 U.S. 261,271; United States v. Martinez [9th Cir., 1998] 143 F.3d 1266, 1269; When trial counsel was operating under a conflict of interest based on his own admission of error without obtaining a waiver of that conflict?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the lower court erred in dismissing petitioner's claims for violation of their First Amendment rights
