Pineda v. Warden, No. 14-13772 (11th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePetitioner, convicted of trafficking cocaine and serving a thirty-year sentence, appealed the denial of his petition for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2254, alleging that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to perfect a motion to suppress key evidence. The court concluded that reasonable jurists could agree that counsel was not deficient when she did not perfect a motion to suppress because she thought petitioner lacked standing. The court affirmed the district court's dismissal of the petition because the Georgia Court of Appeals reasonably determined that trial counsel rendered sufficient performance.
