Rimmer v. Secretary, FL Department of Corrections, No. 15-14257 (11th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseThe Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of petitioner's 28 U.S.C. 2254 petition for writ of habeas corpus. The court held that the district court erred by conducting de novo review. The state court's denial of petitioner's Brady claim was entitled to deference under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and the state court's denial was neither an unreasonable determination of the facts nor an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on November 15, 2017.
