071804P.pdf   11/06/2008  Donald Keys  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-1804
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Before Bye, author, Smith and Colloton,
   Circuit Judges]
   Prisoner case - habeas. Counsel's failure to file a notice of appeal after
   Keys's conviction was not ineffective assistance of counsel as Keys had
   expressly instructed him not to appeal; counsel's performance was
   deficient when he failed to advise Keys of his right to cross-appeal from a
   forfeiture order appealed by the government; however, Keys was not
   entitled to any relief as he failed to establish that but for counsel's 
   failure he would have appealed.
