Convicted cocaine dealer Jose Rodriguez thought he was in the clear after the 2nd Circuit ordered that his habeas petition be granted because the trial judge had restricted his family's access to his trial.

On Wednesday, the circuit said it could no longer rely on dicta in U.S. Supreme Court decisions in reviewing a habeas case -- and denied Rodriguez' petition.
