What is the effect of collateral estoppel on a motion for habeas corpus?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Wilkinson v. Gingrich, No. 13-56952 (9th Cir. 2015):
For the foregoing reasons, we hold that the state court unreasonably applied the rule of collateral estoppel, as clearly established in Ashe v. Swenson, when it upheld Wilkinson's perjury conviction. We therefore affirm the judgment of the district court granting Wilkinson's petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
