    Quote of the 5th Circuit Court ruling of August 29, 2014:
    We REVERSE the district court’s dismissal of Canales’s claim that he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel during sentencing, and we REMAND for the district court to consider whether Canales can prove prejudice. As to all other claims, we AFFIRM.

    Having read the opinion plus the dissent by Higginbotham and considering what happened with Andrus , I think Canales has a better chance than most of getting the Supreme Court to hear his case. I would be shocked at minimum to not see a Sotomayor dissent.
