Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit August 29, 2002, No. 01-16843; D.C. No. CV-95-02181-RCB (Sasak v. Copeland)

MEMORANDUM**

Timothy Sasak, a former prisoner of the State of Arizona, appeals the district court’s decision denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for habeas corpus relief. Because Sasak filed his federal habeas corpus petition in 1995, the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act does not apply to the merits of this case. See Jeffries v. Wood, 103 F.3d 827, 827 (9th Cir. 1996) (en banc).
