Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Ninth Circuit's opinion, which determined that it
could not review a state court decision that interpreted federal law because
the state court decision also involved analysis of a state statute,
unreasonably insulates the state court decision from review and conflicts
with Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17 (2001).

2. Whether the Ninth Circuit's opinion that interpreted state law
contrary to the meaning ascribed to the statute by the state appellate court
conflicts with Bradshaw v. Richey, 546 U.S. 74, 76 (2005), Estelle v. McGuire,
502 U.S. 62 (1991), and Mullaney v. Wilbur, 421 U.S. 684 (1975)?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Ninth Circuit's opinion unreasonably insulates the state court decision from review and conflicts with Ohio v. Reiner
