# 28 U.S.C. § 2264 - Scope of Federal review; district court adjudications
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Whenever a State prisoner under capital sentence files a petition for habeas corpus relief to which this chapter applies, the district court shall only consider a claim or claims that have been raised and decided on the merits in the State courts, unless the failure to raise the claim properly is—
|
||
|
||
(1) the result of State action in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States;
|
||
|
||
(2) the result of the Supreme Court’s recognition of a new Federal right that is made retroactively applicable; or
|
||
|
||
(3) based on a factual predicate that could not have been discovered through the exercise of due diligence in time to present the claim for State or Federal post-conviction review.
|
||
|
||
(b) Following review subject to subsections (a), (d), and (e) of section 2254, the court shall rule on the claims properly before it.
|
||

||
