United States Second Circuit

Denial of petition for writ of habeas relief from convictions for second-degree assault, second-degree vehicular assault, common law driving while intoxicated (DWI), and leaving the scene of an accident, is affirmed where the challenged harmlessness determination regarding an error of state law was itself a decision of state law that cannot form the basis for federal habeas relief.
