United States First Circuit

Denial of petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. section 2254 is affirmed over petitioner's claims that Massachusetts state courts unreasonably applied Batson v. Kentucky, which held that the Equal Protection Clause prohibits prosecutors from challenging potential jurors on the basis of race, 476 U.S. 79, 89 (1979).
