Janette Price v. Duyonn Andre Vincent

Summary

The Supreme Court reversed the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, holding that the respondent did not meet the statutory requirements for federal habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. §2254(d). The Court found the Court of Appeals erred by reviewing the double jeopardy claim de novo rather than determining whether the state court's decision was contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law.
