United States Ninth Circuit

The district court's denial of petitioner's habeas corpus petition is reversed and remanded, where: 1) the prosecution’s failure to disclose the police dog's history of making mistaken scent identifications violated Brady v. Maryland; and 2) the California Court of Appeal's decision to the contrary was an unreasonable application of Brady.
