United States Sixth Circuit

Dismissal of a second habeas petition filed by a state prisoner serving a life sentence for first-degree felony murder is affirmed on the ground that the record established that petitioner's claims were not cognizable on habeas review, and thus, the petition should have been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
