Docket

*1 Before: CANBY, KOZINSKI, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.

Tony Nixon appeals his bench-trial conviction and 18-month sentence for one count of conspiracy to transport illegal aliens for the purpose of financial gain, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(I), (a)(1)(A)(ii), and (a)(1)(B)(i), and two counts of transportation of illegal aliens for profit, in violation of 8 U.S.C. *2 § 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) and (a)(1)(B)(i). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Nixon contends that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial. He has not shown that his counsel was constitutionally ineffective. See Strickland v. Washington , 466 U.S. 668, 694 (1984) (to establish that counsel was constitutionally ineffective, defendant must show that counsel performed deficiently and that “there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different”).

AFFIRMED.
