The California court’s holding was an unreasonable application of clearly established precedent. 1 This point is independent of the fact, recognized by the Court, ante, at 68, that it remains open to Andrade to appeal his sentence under People v. Garcia, 20 Cal. 4th 490, 976 P. 2d 831 (1999) (<HOLDING>). 2 Implicit in the distinction between future
