United States Seventh Circuit

Upon remand from the U.S. Supreme Court after the Court's ruling in Carey v. Musladin, 127 S. Ct. 649 (2006), a decision granting a petition for habeas corpus is reinstated where a defendant's right to relief if his defense counsel was actually or constructively absent at a critical stage of the proceedings was not an open constitutional question when the 7th Circuit originally granted the petition.
