Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit improperly applied 28-U.S.C-2254(d)

QUESTION PRESENTED The question presented to this Court is whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit improperly applied 28 U.S.C. §$2254(d), when it gave statutory deference to the New Jersey state court’s incorrect holding, thereby endorsing a mistaken application of the law and erroneous factual determinations surrounding Petitioner’s claimed violations of fundamental due process principles requiring state disclosure of exculpatory or impeaching material.
