13-478 9th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2013

Issue: Whether a federal court conducting habeas corpus review may reject a state supreme court's summary merits adjudication of a claim as objectively unreasonable under 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d), not by considering whether a fairminded jurist might have denied relief based on the record submitted to the state supreme court, but instead by imputing to the state supreme court asserted flaws in the reasoning expressed in an earlier decision on the claim made by a lower court based on different evidence.
