U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-3696
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. Remanded to the district court for it to consider
whether the Iowa Court of Appeals' decision in Paulson v. State, 759
N.W. 2d 2 (Iowa Ct. App. Oct. 1, 2008), regarding whether Paulson's
attorney was ineffective for failing to object to testimony from Paulson's
ex-wife was "contrary to" clearly established federal law as set out in
Strickland and the court's subsequent ineffective-assistance of counsel
cases.
