Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit April 22, 2002, 01-3184 (Peter M. Stapleton v. Jeffrey A. Wolfe, Warden)

OPINION

BOYCE F. MARTIN, Jr., Chief Judge.

Peter M. Stapleton, an Ohio state prisoner, filed a petition in the district court for a writ of habeas corpus, based on the determination by the Ohio Court of Appeals that the improper admission of a non-testifying accomplice’s statements was harmless error. The district court denied Stapleton’s petition but issued a certificate of appealability.
