The following excerpt is from Stepanov v. Johnson, No. 2:12-cv-02644-JKS (E.D. Cal. 2015):
improper; rather, the question is whether the state judge's conduct "rendered the trial so fundamentally unfair as to violate federal due process under the United States Constitution." Duckett v. Godinez, 67 F.3d 734, 740 (9th Cir. 1995) (citations omitted).
