032732P.pdf   09/07/2004  Gary Lynn Underdahl  v.  Terry Carlson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2732
                          and No:  03-2738
   District of Minnesota   
Prisoner case - habeas. District court correctly held that the Minnesota Court of Appeals did not unreasonably apply clearly established federal law when it determined Underdahl's counsel was not ineffective at trial; decisions not to subpoena witness, to put Underdahl's character in issue and not to introduce certain photos were all reasonable trial strategies; district court erred in dismissing second petition for failure to exhaust state remedies without giving Underdahl a chance to amend the petition and proceed with his exhausted claims.
