Is there any case law where a defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to show him his presentence report?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Green, 979 F.2d 856 (9th Cir. 1992):

Green's allegations that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to show him his presentence report and explain it to him, and counseled him to say that he was a felon when he claims he is not, are unsupported by the record. In addition, his claim that he has a conflict of interest with his attorney is unsubstantiated and was therefore properly dismissed. See United States v. Maree, 934 F.2d 196, 200 (9th Cir.1991); United States v. Lewis, 880 F.2d 243, 244 (9th Cir.1989).
