MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Murdaugh v. Ryan, 2:09-CV-00831-FJM, No. 10-99020 (9th Cir. 2013):
In determining whether a state court made an unreasonable determination of the facts, "it is not enough that we would reverse in similar circumstances if this were an appeal from a district court decision. Rather, we must be convinced that an appellate panel, applying the normal standards of appellate review, could not reasonably conclude that the finding is supported by the record." Taylor v. Maddox, 366 F.3d 992, 1000 (9th Cir. 2004).
