071157P.pdf   02/26/2008  Arven Malcom, Jr.  v.  Robert Houston
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-1157
   District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and
   Shepherd, Circuit Judge]
   Prisoner case - habeas. Because Malcom did not suffer a complete
   denial of counsel at trial, and because it is possible to assess the effect 
   of deficiencies in trial counsel's representation, it was neither contrary 
   to, nor an unreasonable application of, federal law to apply the Strickland
   standard in analyzing Malcom's ineffective assistance of counsel claims.
