United States Eleventh Circuit
Hendrix v. Sec'y, Florida Dep't. of Corrections, 07-13117
Denial of a habeas petition is affirmed where: 1) the mere appearance of a judge's alleged bias was insufficient to violate the Due Process Clause in light of clearly established federal law as set forth by the Supreme Court; 2) trial counsel's investigation and presentation of mitigating circumstances was reasonable and did not render ineffective assistance; and 3) the government's failure to disclose immaterial information about a witness did not amount to a Brady violation.
