Christopher Guy Jasso v. California

Does the State of California’s refusal to fund its own habeas corpus system deny petitioner’s right to due process of law in that it not only blocked post appeal judgment issues but denied petitioner his procedural due process right to review in federal courts?

In a state capital appellate case where shockingly deficient performance is manifest in the appellate record and acknowledged by the reviewing court, was petitioner denied due process and the right to counsel because the reviewing court declined to decide the issue on direct appeal and required petitioner to pursue functionally unavailable state habeas corpus remedies which in turn deprived him of his right to federal review? PARTIES AND CORPORATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS Christopher Jasso is the petitioner in this case and was represented in the California Supreme Court by Glen Niemy, Esq. The State of California below was represented by the California Attorney General’s Office by Paige Hazard, Esq. No parties are corporations.
