How later courts describe this case

• "[A] district court is permitted ... to raise [the waiver] defense sua sponte, [but] the court is not permitted to override the state's decision implicit or explicit ... to forego that defense."
• alleged ineffectiveness of counsel at pretrial proceedings, at trial, and at sentencing could have been presented on direct appeal, and failure to do so was procedural default which barred review in federal habeas corpus proceeding
