However, its important to note that proving ineffective assistance of counsel is not easy and even if a defendant can show that their lawyers performance was deficient, they must also show that the deficient performance prejudiced the outcome of their case.
In California, ineffective assistance of counsel is a claim asserted by a criminal defendant that their defense attorney failed to perform in a reasonably competent manner. This violates the right to effective counsel (and thus a fair trial) as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The defense attorney failed to object to evidence that should not have been admissible. The defense attorney failed to make reasonable investigations into the facts of the case. The defense attorney failed to take effective steps to rebut evidence offered by the prosecution, e.g. by failing to request DNA testing.
A: Failure to properly investigate or locate witnesses is a classic example of ineffective assistance of counsel.
Final answer: Failing to meet a court-imposed deadline is most likely not to qualify as ineffective assistance of counsel because it is a procedural issue that may not directly impact the defenses effectiveness as per Strickland v. Washington and Padilla v. Kentucky.
