Bell, Warden v. Quintero

544 U.S. 936

BELL, WARDEN

v.

QUINTERO.

No. 04-386.

Supreme Court of United States.

March 21, 2005.

C. A. 6th Cir. Motion of respondent for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted. Certiorari denied. Reported below: 368 F. 3d 892.

1

In this case, the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that respondent Derrick Quintero was entitled to federal habeas relief from his state-court conviction for escaping from prison. Because the Court of Appeals failed to follow this Court's decision in Bell v. Cone, 535 U. S. 685 (2002), I would grant the warden's petition for certiorari and reverse.
