United States Ninth Circuit

In a robbery prosecution, the dismissal of Petitioner's second habeas petition is affirmed where although the District Court erred in holding that Petitioner was required to show good cause for failure to exhaust state court remedies, the claims in Petitioner's second petition needed to relate back to those in his first to be timely.
