U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-1696
District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Hansen and Bye, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. Claim that this court's refusal to approve
application for $300,000 for accounting experts amounted to court-
induced ineffective assistance of counsel was not raised on direct appeal
and was procedurally defaulted; even if the claim was not procedurally
defaulted, it failed on the merits because any shortage in funds for the
defense was the result of Lefkowitz's failure to pay for his defense from
his own funds; neither Booker nor Blakely apply to movants in collateral
proceedings.
