Logan v. Gelb, No. 14-2050 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseIn 2007, Petitioner was convicted in a Massachusetts state court of living off or sharing the earnings of a minor prostitute. In 2013, Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 in federal court seeking to invalidate his conviction on a number of grounds. The district court found against Petitioner on every claim and ordered the petition dismissed. The First Circuit affirmed the district court’s denial of Petitioner’s habeas petition, holding (1) Petitioner’s ineffective assistance claim failed on the prejudice prong of the Strickland v. Washington standard; (2) the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction; and (3) Petitioner’s final claim was waived.
