United States First Circuit

In a habeas corpus action, challenging petitioner's state conviction for possessing child pornography, the district court's denial of the petition for relief is affirmed where the Massachusetts Appeals Court's determination that a photograph of a naked 12 twelve-year-old girl kneeling on beach sand was not protected by the First Amendment is not contrary to clearly established federal law.
