The following excerpt is from Cha v. Ground, No. 2:12-CV-2197-CMK-P (E.D. Cal. 2016):
Because the state court applied the correct controlling federal standards, this court reviews to determine whether the state court decision was the result of an unreasonable application of the facts to those standards. In so doing, the court notes that an "unreasonable application" occurs only when the state court "erred so transparently that no fairminded jurist could agree with that court's decision." Bobby v. Dixon, 132 S.Ct. 26, 27 (2011).
