Document:
Rayon Lavelle Pork ("Pork"), a Virginia inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this petition for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 ("§ 2254 Petition, " ECF No. I). Respondent has moved to dismiss the action. (ECF No. 13.) The matter is before the Court for a Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). For the reasons that follow, it is RECOMMENDED that the § 2254 Petition be DISMISSED.
As explained below, Claim 1 lacks merit and Claims 2, 3, and 4 fail to provide a viable basis for federal habeas relief.
28 U.S.C. § 2254(d). The Supreme Court has emphasized that the question "is not whether a federal court believes the state court's determination was incorrect but whether that determination was unreasonable-a substantially higher threshold." Schriro v. Lcmdrigan, 550 U.S. 465, 473 (2007) (citing Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 410 (2000)). Given the foregoing restraints, the findings of the Virginia courts in rejecting Claim 1 Figures prominently in this Court's analysis.
