How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that the AEDPA’s provisions governing habeas corpus proceedings in capital eases do not raise a retroactivity problem
  • finding that Congress intended the entire Act to take retroactive effect despite the omission of such statements as to the Chapter 153 amendments
  • applying Landgraf analysis in determination that the amended versions of 28 U.S.C. §§ 2244, 2253, and 2254 apply to cases pending in federal court on the date of enactment
  • applying the AEDPA to a habeas petition pending since January 22, 1993
  • finding congressional intent to apply the amendments retroactively in non-capital cases
  • Chapter 154 needed an effective date provision to prevent the inference from the opt-in requirements that it only applied to future cases
