John James Turner v. Louie L. Wainwright, Director, Division of Corrections, State of Florida

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

John James Turner’s petition to the district court for a writ of habeas corpus raised many issues. Some of those issues were not presented to the Florida Appeals Court in either counsel’s Anders 1 brief or in appellant’s supplemental brief.

“The policy of this court is to defer consideration of a state prisoner’s claim for federal habeas relief until he has exhausted his state remedies on all issues raised in his federal habeas petition.”

Stinson v. State of Alabama, 5 Cir. 1977, 545 F.2d 485.

The district court’s dismissal order is AFFIRMED.
