Supreme Court of the United States

Jeffrey Woods v. Cory Donald.

March 30, 2015135 S. Ct. 1372

Summary

The Court held that the Sixth Circuit erred in granting habeas relief because the Michigan Court of Appeals' decision was not contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law; Cronic does not apply to counsel’s brief absence during testimony about co‑defendants, so the petition for relief was denied and the judgment reversed.
