Greene v. Superintendent — habeas — affirmance — Vanaskie

The Third Circuit today held that a recent Supreme Court opinion foreclosed a habeas corpus petitioner’s argument that Martinez v. Ryan should be expanded to allow review of defaulted or untimely claims based on ineffective assistance of direct appeal (vs. trial) counsel.

Joining Vanaskie were Rendell and Fisher. Arguing counsel were Michael Wiseman for the petitioner and Catherine Kiefer for the state.
