Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit March 13, 2006, 04-14292 (Noel Judas Hills v. Anthony Washington)

PER CURIAM:

In Nelson v. Schofeld, 371 F.3d 768 (11th Cir.2004), this Court applied O’Sullivan v. Boerckel, 526 U.S. 838, 119 S.Ct. 1728, 144 L.Ed.2d 1 (1999), to Georgia’s system of direct appellate review to conclude that a defendant must petition for certiorari to the Georgia Supreme Court in order to exhaust his state remedies and thereby avoid a procedural default.
