Description

We review the grant of a writ of habeas corpus to Martin Cristin by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.*fn1 The appellants are Edward Brennan, Superintendent of the State Correctional Institution at Albion, Pennsylvania, the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the District Attorney for Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania (collectively, the "Commonwealth"). The Commonwealth alleges that the District Court violated 28 U.S.C. S 2254(e)(2) by granting Cristin an evidentiary hearing on the preliminary question of whether his procedural defaults were properly excused.
