(b) With respect to state habeas corpus petitions brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, a

Committee Comments: Prior Court Rule 29.4 has no counterpart in FRAP and is therefore
classified as Miscellaneous. Except where necessary to reflect the
expansion of this rule to reach federal prisoners, no substantive
change from prior Court Rule 29.4 is intended.
