Ross v. Reed

“A city needs control over the number of times its citizens must bear the inconvenience of having its streets dug up and the best times for it to occur.” | “[defendant] must shoulder the burden of showing, not merely that the errors at his trial created a possibility of prejudice, but that they worked to his actual and substantial disadvantage” | if state prisoner alleges no deprivation of federal rights, § 2254 is inapplicable | if cause and prejudice standard satisfied, certainly sixth amendment violation sustained
