1Opinion of the Court
CAMPBELL, Senior Circuit Judge.
Edward Knight appeals from the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Knight argues that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (“SJC”) erred in holding, first, that Knight’s Sixth Amendment right to confrontation was not violated when the state trial court refused to allow him to pursue a particular area of inquiry during cross-examination of a prosecution witness, and, second, that Knight’s counsel was not constitutionally ineffective.
