1032, 1036 (Utah 1987); State v. Kirkwood, 2002 UT App 128, ¶ 15, 47 P.3d 111. Here, similar to those cases, Jackson "misconstrues the nature of the constitutional right in question. The Constitution affords an accused a choice: he may refuse to become a witness, or he may elect to take the witness stand and testify in his own behalf.... [Jackson] having exercised his constitutional right to remain silent and not testify, cannot now be heard to complain that the court forced the choice upon him and thereby denied him due process." Kirkwood, 2002 UT App 128, ¶ 15, 47 P.3d 111 (quoting Gentry, 747 P.2d at 1036). Because Jackson's argument has been rejected, neither trial nor appellate counsel were ineffective in failing to raise the issue. Parsons v. Barnes, 871 P.2d 516, 525 (Utah 1994) (<HOLDING>). T7 Affirmed. 2 . Jackson also asserts briefly
holding that trial counsel will not be convicted of ineffective assistance of counsel for failure to engage in futile acts holding no ineffective assistance of appellate counsel claim for failure to raise as basis for appeal of conviction ineffective assistance of trial counsel where basis for the latter claim was inadequate holding that failure to object to admissible evidence was not ineffective assistance of counsel holding that defendant may raise claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on direct appeal only if ineffective assistance is conclusive from the record holding that the failure to raise a futile issue does not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel
