Decided November 26, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Douglas H. Johnson (argued), Zellner & Associates, Naperville, IL, for Petitioner-Appellant.

Karen Kaplan (argued), Office of the Attorney General, Chicago, IL, for Respondent-Appellee.

Before FLAUM, Chief Judge, and EASTERBROOK and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

FLAUM, Chief Judge.

In 1999, an Illinois trial court convicted Ariel Gomez of first-degree murder and sentenced him to a thirty-five year prison term. Gomez filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, alleging that his constitutional right to testify in his own defense was denied by the state trial court and that his trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective for failing to present Gomez's testimony.
