What is the basis for a stay of federal habeas proceedings?

this information, even assuming it has some material value. To the extent that petitioner is somehow contending that the testimony of the barriers surrounding the homeless encampment constitutes false evidence, this issue boils down to a challenge to the jury's credibility determinations which are entitled to near total deference on habeas review. See Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298, 330 (1995). Considering the jury was permitted to view the crime scene, they could use their own observations to assess the credibility of the police witnesses who testified about the removal of the barriers to the homeless encampment. In light of these flaws in petitioner's reasoning, as well as the lack of any constitutional basis for this claim, the court finds no basis for a stay of federal habeas proceedings.
