Eugene Twitty v. Harold J. Smith, Superintendent, Attica Correctional Facility, Respondent
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided December 11, 1979No. 285, Docket 79-2120PublishedCited by 80 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
KEARSE, Circuit Judge:
Petitioner Eugene Twitty, a state prisoner, appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Mark A. Costantino, Judge), dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The district court held that Twitty had exhausted his state remedies but that his claims lacked merit. We conclude that as to certain of his claims Twitty did not exhaust his remedies in the state court, and that the claims as to which he did exhaust his remedies do not justify the granting of the writ. Hence we affirm the district court’s judgment.
