What is the effect of a denial of a habeas petition by a state court?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Jackson v. Ylst, 76 F.3d 386 (9th Cir. 1996):
We review de novo the denial of a habeas petition. Sanders v. Ratelle, 21 F.3d 1446, 1451 (9th Cir.1994). The district court's factual findings, however, are reviewed for clear error, Thomas v. Brewer, 923 F.2d 1361, 1364 (9th Cir.1991), and the state court's factual determinations are presumed correct. 28 U.S.C. 2254(d).
