United States Supreme Court
Roper v. Weaver, 06-313
The writ of certiorari in a criminal matter, which raised an issue regarding whether a court of appeals properly applied the AEDPA's stringent standard of review in setting aside a capital sentence, is dismissed as improvidently granted, as the Court found it necessary to prevent three identically-situated litigants from being treated in a needlessly disparate manner, simply because the district court in this matter erroneously dismissed respondent's pre-AEDPA petition.
