1Opinion of the Court
SHADUR, Senior District Judge.
Miguel Tejeda Jr. (“Tejeda”) has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (“Section 2254”) petition for a writ of habeas corpus (“Petition”) that challenges his state court conviction on three related criminal charges. Tejeda contends that his conviction must be overturned because he did not receive constitutionally effective counsel at trial as required by the Sixth Amendment. 1 That claim was rejected by the district court, but for the reasons set forth below we reverse that decision, vacate Tejeda’s conviction and remand the case for entry of an appropriate order.
