1Opinion of the Court
•LASKER, District Judge.
Petitioner Barshai Allah seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1982) on the ground that his conviction was obtained in violation of his Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel. Four years ago this court dismissed a nearly identical’petition by Allah for failure to exhaust state remedies. Allah v. Henderson, 526 F.Supp. 282 (S.D.N.Y.1981), aff 'd mem., 697 F.2d 287 (2d Cir. 1982). We conclude that an evidentiary hearing is necessary and appropriate under the circumstances in order to develop the factual record.
