THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

ANDRE WILLIAM LEPERE,

Defendant and Appellant.

No. G061393

(Super. Ct. No. 21CF1170)

California Court of Appeal

Fourth Appellate District

Division Three

Filed June 2, 2023

ORDER MODIFYING OPINION;

NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT

This court hereby orders that the opinion filed on May 16, 2023, be modified as follows:

1. On page 12, first complete paragraph, delete the quote at the end of the paragraph and replace with the following: "[A] court need not determine whether counsel's performance was deficient before examining the prejudice suffered by the defendant as a result of the alleged deficiencies. The object of an ineffectiveness claim is not to grade counsel's performance. If it is easier to dispose of an ineffectiveness claim on the ground of lack of sufficient prejudice . . . that course should be followed." (Id. at p. 697.)

This modification does not change the judgment.

SANCHEZ, ACTING P. J.

I CONCUR:

DELANEY, J.
