183457P.pdf   01/31/2020  Zachary Love  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3457
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Gruender and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Habeas. Claim that attorney was ineffective for failing to 
   secure a plea agreement with a recommended 120-month sentence was properly 
   rejected as the court cannot say counsel acted unreasonably by failing to 
   reach a final plea agreement or by failing to find a way to preserve the 
   plea offer while Love underwent mental health evaluation; claim that 
   counsel was ineffective by not requesting a second competency evaluation 
   rejected; the district court did not err in rejecting Love's ineffective 
   assistance of counsel claims without an evidentiary hearing. Judge Kelly, 
   concurring in part and dissenting in part.
