BIRCH, Circuit Judge, concurring specially:
I concur without reservation in Parts IIV of the court’s opinion. Although I remain convinced that our court set the acceptable level of attorney assistance for preparation for the penalty phase of a capital case too low in Chandler v. United States, 218 F.3d 1305, 1343-44 (11th Cir.2000) (en banc) (dissent), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 121 S.Ct. 1217, 149 L.Ed.2d 129 (2001), the panel majority has correctly applied that decision to the case at hand. Accordingly, I join Parts V and VI of the court’s opinion.
