What is the test for declining to review a habeas claim?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Wilson v. Maass, 979 F.2d 857 (9th Cir. 1992):
This court may decline to review a habeas claim if the petitioner failed to raise the claim in the petition and the district court did not address the claim. See Willard v. California, 812 F.2d 461, 465 (9th Cir.1987) (issue not raised in habeas corpus petition and not addressed by district court is waived). That is the case here.
