Quizplus · Accepted Answer

State defendants seeking a federal writ of habeas corpus must show that they have exhausted all available state remedies and must raise issues not previously raised in their state appeals. This means they cannot simply bring the same claims to a federal court that they have already litigated in state court. They must show that they have fully pursued all available avenues in state court before seeking federal relief.
