MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This Court takes full judicial notice of the record in this case, and further notes that it entered a Memorandum and Order on May 15, 2002, and the Clerk entered a judgment thereon on May 16, 2002. Thereafter, on June 4, 2002, this petitioner filed an extensive 19-page Traverse and Response and attachments, which this Court has now had a chance to read. The petitioner seems to be arguing in his Traverse that somehow this Court got it wrong in interpreting Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362 (2000). While this Court greatly appreciates the high professional quality of the petitioner's presentation, it does not agree or concede that some way or other this Court misread the Supreme Court of the United States in Williams.
The Court has revisited the Memorandum filed by the Attorney General of Indiana on February 22, 2002, and believes that the Attorney General of Indiana adequately addressed the basic merits of the case here. This Court is especially respectful of the quality of the decision of the Court of Appeals of Indiana entered on July 30, 2000.
After considering carefully the filings made by the petitioner on June 4, 2002, this Court will let stand without modification its decision of May 15, 2002 denying the petition for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
