Saiz V. Ortiz

Peggy Sue Saiz was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Her conviction was affirmed on appeal. She then filed a federal habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, which the federal district court granted. On appeal from that grant, we reversed and remanded the case to the district court to apply the correct standard of review under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act. On remand, applying the correct standard of review, the district court denied her relief. This appeal followed. For the following reasons, we affirm the district court's denial of this second habeas petition.
