                          and No:  06-3513
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City

   Judges]
Habeas Case - section 2254. Grant of habeas relief based on Brady claims 24 pieces of suppressed evidence is reversed. State decision is not contrary to Supreme Court precedent because it failed to address Brady claims collectively. Even assuming all the evidence was wrongfully suppressed, net effect of minimally exculpatory evidence cannot reasonably be taken to undermine confidence in the verdict. Petitioner is not entitled to habeas relief under "contrary to" or "unreasonable application" provision. Petitioner's motion to expand the record with DNA results from tests conducted on four cigarette butts is affirmed based on failure to exhaust and that evidence would not clearly and convincingly demonstrate that no reasonable factfinder would have found him guilty.
