545 F.3d 935 (2008)

Durwyn MANCILL, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Hilton HALL, Warden, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

October 17, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lawrence J. Bracken, II (Court-Appointed), Bryan Arthur Powell, Hunton & Williams, LLP, Atlanta, GA, for Mancill.

Paula Khristian Smith, Sr. Asst. Atty. Gen., Atlanta, GA, for Hall.

Before WILSON, PRYOR and COX, Circuit Judges.


COX, Circuit Judge:

This case presents the question of how to apply the exhaustion requirement of 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to claims a Georgia habeas court heard but never ruled on. More specifically, the issue is whether the exhaustion requirement compels a successful Georgia habeas petitioner to cross-appeal those claims not addressed by the habeas court when the claim on which he succeeded is challenged on appeal by the habeas respondent.
