091083P.pdf   11/10/2009  Cardrick Flowers  v.  Larry Norris
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1083
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. District court did not err in finding state court trial counsel's failure to move to sever felon-in-possession charge from aggravated robbery and theft charges was not ineffective assistance of counsel; defense counsel made a strategic decision not to move to sever based on Flowers's general denial defense and not on a mistaken understanding about the admissibility of Flowers's prior conviction.
