UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TIO DINERO SESSOMS, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

D.L. RUNNELS, Warden, et al.,, 

Respondents. 

No. 2:05-cv-1221 JAM GGH P 

ORDER 

 By order of January 23, 2015, an en banc panel of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth 

Circuit reversed the district court’s denial of the petition for writ of habeas corpus and remanded 

this case with an order for the district court to proceed in conformance with the most recent 

opinion of the en banc Court. The Ninth Circuit’s order was based on its decision that the 

California Court of Appeals’ conclusion that petitioner’s request was not an unequivocal or 

unambiguous request for an attorney, was an unreasonable application of Supreme Court 

precedent. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1). The Ninth Circuit found the Miranda error prejudicial. On 

October 7, 2015, the mandate issued.
