Is a claim alleging errors in the post-conviction review process cognizable on federal habeas review?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Williams v. Clark, No. 2:09-cv-2968 JAM CKD P (E.D. Cal. 2015):
This claim is not cognizable on federal habeas review, as "[a] petition alleging errors in the state post-conviction review process is not addressable through habeas corpus proceedings." Franzen v. Brinkman, 877 F.2d 26 (9th Cir. 1989). Thus this claim should be denied.

In sum, the undersigned concludes that petitioner is not entitled to federal habeas relief on any of his claims.
