Questions presented

Whether a state court’s dismissal of a habeas petitioner’s claim under the U.S. Constitution for failure to plead sufficient “material facts” under a state pleading standard is a decision interwoven with federal law.
-
Whether a state court satisfies the “plain statement” requirement of Harris v. Reed by invoking a state procedural rule without applying it, after adjudicating a habeas petitioner’s claim on the merits.
