What is the test for reviewing a district court's denial of a writ of habeas corpus?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Woodall v. Rowland, 26 F.3d 136 (9th Cir. 1994):

A district court's denial of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus is reviewed de novo. Thomas v. Brewer, 923 F.2d 1361, 1364 (9th Cir.1991). Because the facts are familiar to the parties, we do not restate them here.
