143495P.pdf 07/20/2016 Billie Allen v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3495
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Habeas. Given the state of the law at the time of Allen's
capital murder trial, it was not professionally unreasonable for counsel
to forego an objection to the district court's procedure for identifying
jurors by number; the district court did not err in denying this habeas
petition without an evidentiary hearing.
