MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Witt v. Gomez, 956 F.2d 276 (9th Cir. 1992):
The decision whether to grant or deny a petition for habeas corpus is reviewed de novo. United States v. Popoola, 881 F.2d 811, 812 (9th Cir.1989). However, "[t]o the extent it is necessary to review findings of fact, the clearly erroneous standard applies." Norris v. Risley, 878 F.2d 1178, 1180 (9th Cir.1989).
