A DIVIDED U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit yesterday issued the latest in a series of opinions interpreting Congressional limitations on judicial powers in handling habeas corpus petitions.
By a 2-1 margin, the Second Circuit said that where a prisoner has not exhausted challenges to his conviction in state court, a federal court may deny the prisoner’s habeas corpus petition on the merits only when the petition has no hope of success.
