United States Second Circuit

In conviction on four counts of robbery in the second degree, denial of petition for writ of habeas corpus is reversed and remanded where: 1) the state courts unreasonably applied Batson v. Kentucky with respect to the prosecutor's peremptory strike of a black prospective juror; and 2) the petition for habeas corpus relief should have been granted.
