202846P.pdf 03/18/2022 Chad Dressen v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-2846
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Southern
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Colloton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Habeas. In this Section 2255 proceeding, the district
court did not err in determining that Dressen had not asked his attorney
to appeal and that counsel was not ineffective for not filing an appeal;
the district court's factual finding that Dressen did not direct counsel
to file an appeal was based on a reasonable credibility determination, and
the court sees no clear error.
