United States Second Circuit

In an application for an order authorizing the district court to consider a successive petition for habeas relief from defendant's conviction for reckless manslaughter and depraved indifference murder, application is denied where a Title 28 U.S.C. section 2254 petition is not the proper vehicle for challenging deficiencies in a state post-conviction proceeding.
