MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Hawkins v. Chappell, No. 2:96-cv-01155-TLN-EFB (E.D. Cal. 2013):

principle to the facts of the prisoner's case. Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 405-06 (2000). A federal habeas court "may not issue the writ simply because that court concludes in its independent judgment that the relevant state-court decision applied clearly established federal law erroneously or incorrectly. Rather, that application must also be unreasonable." Id. at 411.
