- holding that lesser-included claim was Teague-barred
- distinguishing the portion of United States v. Zapata-Tamalo, 833 F.3d 25 (2d Cir. 1987), on which Stephens relies as dicta and barred by Teague v. Lane, 489 U.S. 288 (1989)
- “Since a decision interpreting the Constitution to require the submission of instructions on lesser-included offenses in non-capital cases would involve the announcement of anew rule, we hold that Teague precludes our consideration of the issue.”’
