presented is:

Whether a state court can treat a federal habeas decision of this Court as a
ruling on the merits contrary to the plain language of the decision?

2. Whether former juvenile offenders sentenced to life imprisonment with
parole eligibility after 25 years are afforded a meaningful opportunity to obtain
release under the Eighth Amendment when parole officials are not required to
consider maturity and rehabilitation or the mitigating attributes of youth?

Whether a state court can treat a federal habeas decision of this Court as a ruling on the merits contrary to the plain language of the decision?
