OPINION

PAUL L. FRIEDMAN, District Judge.

This matter is before the Court on defendant Charles W. Ramsey’s motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Pursuant to that section, the Court shall vacate a conviction and grant, appropriate relief where, inter alia, “there has been such a denial or infringement of the constitutional rights of the prisoner so as to render the judgment vulnerable to collateral attack.” Mr. Ramsey claims that the deficient performance of his trial attorney denied him the “assistance of counsel” guaranteed him by the Sixth Amendment.'
