Before WOLLMAN, Chief Judge, HANSEN and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

HANSEN, Circuit Judge.

Anthony M. Dixon, George J.L. Barton, and Freddie C. Russell appeal district court orders denying their motions for habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In each case, the district court found that the claims the petitioner raised were barred because the petitioner had not pursued them by seeking discretionary review before the state's highest court. We reverse and remand for further consideration.
