United States First Circuit

Denial of petition for writ of habeas corpus is affirmed as to five claims where the petitioner failed to exhaust his state court remedies, but reversed and remanded as to another claim where the petitioner's state appellate brief sufficiently labeled a sufficiency claim as a federal claim so as to satisfy the fair presentation requirement.
