Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit March 18, 2013, 07-99012, 09-72779 (Gulbrandson v. Ryan)

*1048D.W. NELSON, Senior Circuit Judge,

concurring in part and dissenting in part:

I concur in the majority’s opinion in large part. My central disagreement concerns the claim that defense counsel failed to call Dr. Blinder during the penalty hearing to testify about Gulbrandson’s state of mind at the time of the crime.
