Franza’s objection here boils down to his view that this section in counsel’s brief “was not worthy of inclusion.” (Coram Nobis Aff. ¶ 54; accord, Coram Nobis Br. at 57.) Even if that were true, inclusion of a weaker argument leads to a finding of ineffective assistance only if appellate counsel “omitted significant and obvious issues while pursuing issues that were clearly and significantly weaker.” Mayo v.
