For the reasons Justice Scalia explains in his dissent from today’s judgment, ante, at 6—7, in my view, our holding in United States v. LaBonte, 520 U.S. 751 (1997), has no bearing upon the question whether the petitioner received ineffective assistance of counsel and does not suggest a result different from that reached by the Court of Appeals. For this reason, I too dissent from the
judgment of the Court and would deny the petition for certiorari.
