Premo, Superintendent, Oregon State Penitentiary v. Moore

Case Date: 01/19/2011

Premo, Superintendent, Oregon State Penitentiary v. Moore was a 2011 United States Supreme Court case involving the right of individuals to federal habeas corpus relief on state-law claims. In an 8-0 ruling (Justice Kagan did not participate), the court held that habeas relief may not be granted with respect to any claim a state-court has found on the merits unless the state-court decision denying relief involves an "unreasonable application" of "clearly established federal law, as determined by" the Court.[1]
