Mandatory stay of execution; duration; limits on stays of execution; successive petitions. ``2258. Filing of habeas corpus petition; time requirements; tolling rules. ``2259. Evidentiary hearings; scope of Federal review; district court adjudication. ``2260. Certificate of probable cause inapplicable. ``2261. Application to State unitary review procedures. ``2262. Limitation periods for determining petitions. ``2263. Rule of construction. ``ÿ1A2256. Prisoners in State custody subject to capital sentence; appointment of counsel; requirement of rule of court or statute; procedures for appointment ``(a) This chapter shall apply to cases arising under section 2254 brought by prisoners in State custody who are subject to a capital sentence. It shall apply only if the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) are satisfied. ``(b) This chapter is applicable if a State establishes by rule of its court of last resort or by statute a mechanism for the appointment, compensation and payment of reasonable litigation expenses of competent counsel in State postconviction proceedings brought by indigent prisoners whose capital convictions and sentences have been upheld on direct appeal to the court of last resort in the State or have otherwise become final for State law purposes. The rule of court or statute must provide standards of competency for the appointment of such counsel. ``(c) Any mechanism for the appointment, compensation and reimbursement of counsel as provided in subsection (b) must offer counsel to all State prisoners under capital sentence and must provide for the entry of an order by a court of record: (1) appointing one or more counsel to represent the prisoner upon a finding that the prisoner is indigent and accepted the offer or is unable competently to decide whether to accept or reject the offer; (2) finding, after a hearing if necessary, that the prisoner rejected the offer of counsel and made the decision with an understanding of its legal consequences; or (3) denying the appointment of counsel upon a finding that the prisoner is not indigent. ``(d) No counsel appointed pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) to represent a State prisoner under capital sentence shall have previously represented the prisoner at trial or on direct appeal in the case for which the appointment is made unless the prisoner and counsel expressly request continued representation. ``(e) The ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel during State or Federal collateral postconviction proceedings in a capital case shall not be a ground for relief in a proceeding arising under section 2254 of this chapter. This limitation shall not preclude the appointment of different counsel, on the court's own motion or at the request of the prisoner, at any phase of State or Federal postconviction proceedings on the basis of the ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel in such proceedings. ``ÿ1A2257. Mandatory stay of execution; duration; limits on stays of execution; successive petitions ``(a) Upon the entry in the appropriate State court of record of an order under section 2256(c), a warrant or order setting an execution date for a State prisoner shall be stayed upon application to any court that would have jurisdiction over any proceedings filed under section 2254. The application must recite that the State has invoked the postconviction review procedures of this chapter and that the scheduled execution is subject to stay. ``(b) A stay of execution granted pursuant to subsection (a) shall expire if-- ``(1) a State prisoner fails to file a habeas corpus petition under section 2254 within the time required in section 2258, or fails to make a timely application for court of appeals review following the denial of such a petition by a district court; ``(2) upon completion of district court and court of appeals review under section 2254 the petition for relief is denied and (A) the time for filing a petition for certiorari has expired and no petition has been filed; (B) a timely petition for certiorari was filed and the Supreme Court denied the petition; or (C) a timely petition for certiorari was filed and upon consideration of the case, the Supreme Court disposed of it in a manner that left the capital sentence undisturbed; or ``(3) before a court of competent jurisdiction, in the presence of counsel and after having been advised of the consequences of his decision, a State prisoner under capital sentence waives the right to pursue habeas corpus review under section 2254. ``(c) If one of the conditions in subsection (b) has occurred, no Federal court thereafter shall have the authority to enter a stay of execution or grant relief in a capital case unless-- ``(1) the basis for the stay and request for relief is a claim not previously presented in the State or Federal courts; ``(2) the failure to raise the claim is (A) the result of State action in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States; (B) the result of the Supreme Court recognition of a new Federal right that is retroactively applicable; or (C) based on a factual predicate that could not have been discovered through the exercise of reasonable diligence in time to present the claim for State or Federal postconviction review; and ``(3) The facts underlying the claim would be sufficient to establish by clear and convincing evidence that but for constitutional error, no reasonable fact finder would have found the petitioner guilty of the underlying offense or eligible for the death penalty under State law. ``(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal district court or appellate judge shall have the authority to enter a stay of execution, issue injunctive relief, or grant any equitable or other relief in a capital case on any successive habeas petition (or other action which follows the final determination of a first habeas corpus petition) unless the court first determines the petition or other action does not constitute an abuse of the writ. This determination shall be made only by the district judge or appellate panel who adjudicated the merits of the original habeas petition (or to the district judge or appellate panel to which the case may have been subsequently assigned as a result of the unavailability of the original court or judges). In the Federal courts of appeal, a stay may issue pursuant to the terms of this provision only when a majority of the original panel or majority of the active judges determines the petition does not constitute an abuse of the writ. ``ÿ1A2258. Filing of habeas corpus petition; time requirements; tolling rules ``Any petition for habeas corpus relief under section 2254 must be filed in the appropriate district court within one hundred and eighty days from the filing in the appropriate State court of record of an order under section 2256(c). The time requirements established by this section shall be tolled-- ``(1) from the date that a petition for certiorari is filed in the Supreme Court until the date of final disposition of the petition if a State prisoner files the petition to secure review by the Supreme Court of the affirmance of a capital sentence on direct review by the court of last resort of the State or other final State court decision on direct review; ``(2) during any period in which a State prisoner under capital sentence has a properly filed request for postconviction review pending before a State court of competent jurisdiction; if all State filing rules are met in a timely manner, this period shall run continuously from the date that the State prisoner initially files for postconviction review until final disposition of the case by the highest court of the State, but the time requirements established by this section are not tolled during the pendency of a petition for certiorari before the Supreme Court except as provided in paragraph (1); and ``(3) during an additional period not to exceed sixty days, if (A) a motion for an extension of time is filed in the Federal district court that would have proper jurisdiction over the case upon the filing of a habeas corpus petition under section 2254; and (B) a showing of good cause is made for the failure to file the habeas corpus petition within the time period established by this section. ``ÿ1A2259. Evidentiary hearings; scope of Federal review; district court adjudication ``(a) Whenever a State prisoner under a capital sentence files a petition for habeas corpus relief to which this chapter applies, the district court shall-- ``(1) determine the sufficiency of the record for habeas corpus review based on the claims actually presented and litigated in the State courts except when the prisoner can show that the failure to raise or develop a claim in the State courts is (A) the result of State action in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States; (B) the result of the Supreme Court recognition of a new Federal right that is retroactively applicable; or (C) based on a factual predicate that could not have been discovered through the exercise of reasonable diligence in time to present the claim for State postconviction review; and ``(2) conduct any requested evidentiary hearing necessary to complete the record for habeas corpus review. ``(b) Upon the development of a complete evidentiary record, the district court shall rule on the claims that are properly before it. ``ÿ1A2260. Certificate of probable cause inapplicable ``The requirement of a certificate of probable cause in order to appeal from the district court to the court of appeals does not apply to habeas corpus cases subject to the provisions of this chapter except when a second or successive petition is filed. ``ÿ1A2261. Application to State unitary review procedure ``(a) For purposes of this section, a `unitary review' procedure means a State procedure that authorizes a person under sentence of death to raise, in the course of direct review of the judgment, such claims as could be raised on collateral attack. The provisions of this chapter shall apply, as provided in this section, in relation to a State unitary review procedure if the State establishes by rule of its court of last resort or by statute a mechanism for the appointment, compensation and payment of reasonable litigation expenses of competent counsel in the unitary review proceedings, including expenses relating to the litigation of collateral claims in the proceedings. The rule of court or statute must provide standards of competency for the appointment of such counsel. ``(b) A unitary review procedure, to qualify under this section, must include an offer of counsel following trial for the purpose of representation on unitary review, and entry of an order, as provided in section 2256(c), concerning appointment of counsel or waiver or denial of appointment of counsel for that purpose. No counsel appointed to represent the prisoner in the unitary review proceedings shall have previously represented the prisoner at trial in the case for which the appointment is made unless the prisoner and counsel expressly request continued representation. ``(c) Sections 2257, 2258, 2259, 2260, and 2262 shall apply in relation to cases involving a sentence of death from any State having a unitary review procedure that qualifies under this section. References to State `post-conviction review' and `direct review' in those sections shall be understood as referring to unitary review under the State procedure. The references in sections 2257(a) and 2258 to `an order under section 2256(c)' shall be understood as referring to the post- trial order under subsection (b) concerning representation in the unitary review proceedings, but if a transcript of the trial proceedings is unavailable at the time of the filing of such an order in the appropriate State court, then the start of the one hundred and eighty day limitation period under section 2258 shall be deferred until a transcript is made available to the prisoner or his counsel. ``ÿ1A2262. Limitation periods for determining petitions ``(a)(1) A Federal district court shall determine such a petition or motion within 60 days of any argument heard on an evidentiary hearing, or where no evidentiary hearing is held, within 60 days of any final argument heard in the case. ``(2)(A) The court of appeals shall determine any appeal relating to such a petition or motion within 90 days after the filing of any reply brief or within 90 days after such reply brief would be due. For purposes of this provision, any reply brief shall be due within 14 days of the opposition brief. ``(B) The court of appeals shall decide any petition for rehearing and or request by an appropriate judge for rehearing en banc within 20 days of the filing of such a petition or request unless a responsive pleading is required in which case the court of appeals shall decide the application within 20 days of the filing of the responsive pleading. If en banc consideration is granted, the en banc court shall determine the appeal within 90 days of the decision to grant such consideration. ``(3) The time limitations contained in paragraphs (1) and (2) may be extended only once for 20 days, upon an express good cause finding by the court that the interests of justice warrant such a one-time extension. The specific grounds for the good cause finding shall be set forth in writing in any extension order of the court. ``(4) Since the matters under paragraphs (1) and (2)(A) are to be handled on a priority basis, the time from filing of the petition or motion to final argument (under paragraph (1)) or of the notice of appeal to the hearing of the appeal (under paragraph (2)(A)) shall not exceed 4 months, unless exceptional circumstances require a longer period. Where such time period exceeds 4 months in any petition or motion (under paragraph (2)(A)), the court shall set forth in writing the exceptional circumstances causing the delay. ``(b) The time limitations under subsection (a) shall apply to an initial petition or motion, and to any second or successive petition or motion. The same limitations shall also apply to the re-determination of a petition or motion or related appeal following a remand by the court of appeals or the Supreme Court for further proceedings, and in such a case the limitation period shall run from the date of the remand. ``(c) The time limitations under this section shall not be construed to entitle a petitioner or movant to a stay of execution, to which the petitioner or movant would otherwise not be entitled, for the purpose of litigating any petition, motion, or appeal. ``(d) The failure of a court to meet or comply with the time limitations under this section shall not be a ground for granting relief from a judgment of conviction or sentence. The State or Government may enforce the time limitations under this section by applying to the court of appeals or the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus. ``(e) The Administrative Office of United States Courts shall report annually to Congress on the compliance by the courts with the time limits established in this section. ``ÿ1A2263. Rule of construction ``This chapter shall be construed to promote the expeditious conduct and conclusion of State and Federal court review in capital cases.''.

In any other case, it shall not recommend a sentence of death. The jury shall be instructed that it must avoid any influence of sympathy, sentiment, passion, prejudice, or other arbitrary factors in its decision, and should make such a recommendation as the information warrants. The jury shall be instructed that its recommendation concerning a sentence of death is to be based on the aggravating factor or factors and any mitigating factors which have been found, but that the final decision concerning the balance of aggravating and mitigating factors is a matter for the jury's judgment.''.
