Emily VEGA, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Eric T. SCHNEIDERMAN, Attorney General of the State of New York, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

Decided: June 23, 2017.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

JODY RATNER ( Robert S. Dean , on the brief), Center for Appellate Litigation, New York, NY, for Petitioner-Appellant.

CATHERINE M. RENO ( Nancy D. Killian , on the brief), Assistant District Attorney for Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney for Bronx County, Bronx, NY, for Respondent-Appellee.

Before: Jacobs, Parker, and Livingston, Circuit Judges.

This appeal considers whether a state court order of protection that prohibited Petitioner-Appellant Emily Vega from contacting the victim of her harassment places her "in custody" within the meaning of the habeas statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2254. We conclude that it does not.
