Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, claiming that his state court conviction and sentence were imposed in violation of the Constitution.  Petitioner argued in his petition that his constitutional rights were violated when the state trial court ordered him to be shackled to a wheelchair in a way that was visible to the jury during closing arguments, among other reasons.  The court granted the petition for writ of habeas corpus.
