2019(People v. Quesada (1991) 230 Cal.App.3d 525, 535-536 .) That is, unless counsel gave patently inaccurate advice (misadvice), the failure to discuss immigration consequences did not support an IAC claim because counsel’s performance did not fall below an objectively reasonable standard. ( Strickland, supra, 466 U.S. at pp. 691-692.) 2.

2003We conclude that if, on an appropriately expanded factual record on habeas corpus, Miller and Maple are shown to have acted within an objectively reasonable standard of representation ( Strickland v. Washington, supra, 466 U.S. at pp. 688, 694, 104 S.Ct. 2052 ) in refraining from presenting any argument to the jury consistent with what they reasonably believed were their client's wishes, it would be anomalous, in the face of such an informed finding, to fault the trial court for ultimately deferring to counsel's judgment and determining not to substitute new counsel in the eleventh hour of thi
