   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3306
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Chief Judge Loken and Beam, Circuit
   Judges]
Habeas Corpus - ineffective assistance. After pleading guilty to first- degree murder in exchange for 32 ? year sentence, defendant claimed ineffective assistance of counsel upon learning he had to serve 70% of the sentence. Denial of habeas relief is affirmed. Counsel stated that he told defendant he should be prepared to serve the full amount of the sentence and that parole was up to the state officials; there is no reason to believe he would have made a different choice had he been told he had to serve 70% of sentence. Appellate court decisions in Hill II or Hill III cannot serve as bases for conclusion about reasonableness of state decision.
