Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit July 21, 1998, 97-3288 (William Fiore v. Gregory White, Warden of the State Correctional Institution at Pittsburgh the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania)

OPINION OF THE COURT

ALITO, Circuit Judge:

This is an appeal from an order granting a writ of habeas corpus to William Fiore, a state prisoner in Pennsylvania. The district court granted the writ after concluding that the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania violated Fiore’s constitutional rights by failing to apply one of its decisions retroactively.
