MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Weaver v. Chappell, Case No. 1:02-cv-05583-AWI-SAB (E.D. Cal. 2016):
925, 939 (9th Cir. 2013), quoting Richter, 562 U.S. at 98. "Crucially, this is not a de novo review of the constitutional question," id., as "even a strong case for relief does not mean the state court's contrary conclusion was unreasonable." Id., quoting Richter, 562 U.S. at 102; see also Murray v. Schriro, 745 F.3d 984, 996-97 (9th Cir. 2014).
