|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Breard v. Pruett Anchor | green | “if a state court clearly and expressly bases its dismissal of a habeas petitioner's claim on a state procedural rule, and that procedural rule provides an independent and adequate ground for the dismissal, the habeas petitioner has procedurally defaulted his federal habeas claim.” | 52 |
