Description
A criminal defendants Sixth Amendment right to counsel includes the right to be represented by an attorney with undivided loyalty. See Wood v. Georgia, 450 U.S. 261, 271 (1981). This guarantee is so important that, unlike with other Sixth Amendment claims, when a defendant alleges an unconstitutional actual conflict of interest, "prejudice must be presumed," Delgado v. Lewis, 223 F.3d 976, 981 (9th Cir. 2000) (citing Cuyler v. Sullivan, 446 U.S. 335, 350 (1980), and Flanagan v. United States, 465 U.S. 259, 268 (1984)), and harmless error analysis does not apply. United States v. Allen, 831 F.2d 1487, 1494-95 (9th Cir. 1987) (citing Cuyler, 446 U.S. at 349).
