United States Tenth Circuit

Denial of a petition for habeas relief from a conviction for sexual abuse of a minor child is affirmed where a state appellate court's rejection of a claim that a jury's findings in an earlier civil proceeding precluded a contrary finding in his criminal case, was neither contrary to, nor an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law.
