Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Florida

_________________________

(June 13, 2007) Before CARNES and WILSON, Circuit Judges, and WALTER,* District Judge.

*

Honorable Donald E. Walter, United States District Judge for the Western District of Louisiana, sitting by designation. PER CURIAM:

For the reasons that we discussed with counsel at oral argument, we are convinced that no part of the petitioner’s ineffective assistance claim is unexhausted or procedurally barred, and the district court did not err in finding that the state court’s determination regarding the prejudice prong was an unreasonable application of the principles set out in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984).

AFFIRMED.
