## Opinion text

Cavanagh, J.
(dissenting). Although I might disagree with the Court of Appeals conclusion, as other members of this Court do, that is not a reason to issue a per curiam reversal. The Court of Appeals applied the correct legal standard for ineffective assistance claims to the facts and had a plausible basis in the record for its conclusion that trial counsel was ineffective. I do not think the unpublished decision of the Court of Appeals is clearly erroneous and would deny leave.
Kelly, J., concurred with Cavanagh, J.
