    DELO, SUPERINTENDENT, POTOSI CORRECTIONAL CENTER v. BLAIR
    No. A-69.
    Decided July 21, 1993
   Per Curiam.

The application to vacate the stay of execution presented to Justice Blackmun has been referred to the Court.

Applying the prevailing legal standard, it is “particularly egregious” to enter a stay on second or subsequent habeas petitions unless “there are substantial grounds upon which relief might be granted.” Herrera v. Collins, 506 U. S. 390, 425, 426 (1993) (O’Connor, J., joined by Kennedy, J., concurring) (internal quotation marks omitted). No substantial grounds were presented in the present case. The District Court stated that the “facts in Herrera mirror those in the present case.” No. 93-0674-CV-1 (WD Mo., July 19, 1993). This assessment was not even questioned by the Court of Appeals, and is obviously correct. There is therefore no conceivable need for the Court of Appeals to engage in “more detailed study” over the next five weeks to resolve this claim. See 999 F. 2d 1219 (CA8 1993).

It is an abuse of discretion for a federal court to interfere with the orderly process of a State’s criminal justice system in a case raising claims that are for all relevant purposes indistinguishable from those we recently rejected in Herrera. Accordingly, the Court of Appeals’ stay must be vacated.

Justice Souter would deny the application to vacate the stay.

Justice Blackmun,

with whom

Justice Stevens joins, dissenting.

The Court errs twice in granting the State’s application to vacate the Court of Appeals’ stay of execution. First, it errs by affording insufficient deference to the Court of Appeals’ decision. Second; it errs by letting stand the District Court’s decision, which was itself erroneous.

I

“The standard under which we consider motions to vacate stays of execution is deferential, and properly so. Only when the lower courts have clearly abused their discretion in granting a stay should we take the extraordinary step of overturning such a decision.” Dugger v. Johnson, 485 U. S. 945, 947 (1988) (O’Connor, J., joined by Rehnquist, C. J., dissenting). Accord, Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U. S. 880, 896 (1983); Wainwright v. Spenkelink, 442 U. S. 901, 905 (1979) (Rehnquist, J, dissenting). In this case, the Court of Appeals granted a temporary stay of execution to allow it time properly to consider Blair’s appeal. In my view, its decision to do so does not constitute an abuse of discretion.

The State likens this case to Delo v. Stokes, 495 U. S. 320 (1990), in which this Court vacated a stay of execution because the prisoner’s habeas petition “clearly constitute^] an abuse of the writ.” Id., at 321. Although the habeas peti-' tion currently before the Court of Appeals is Blair’s third, the abuse of the writ doctrine cannot serve as the basis for vacating this stay. Blair’s principal contention in his federal habeas petition is that he is actually innocent, and this Court has recognized an exception to the abuse of the writ doctrine where a habeas petitioner can show that he probably is innocent. See McCleskey v. Zant, 499 U. S. 467, 495 (1991).

II

The Court’s second error is that it lets stand the District Court’s decision denying Blair’s claim without an evidentiary hearing. In Herrera v. Collins, 506 U. S. 390 (1993), this Court assumed that “in a capital case a truly persuasive demonstration of ‘actual innocence’ made after trial would render the execution of a defendant unconstitutional, and warrant federal habeas relief if there were no state avenue open to process such a claim.” Id., at 417. The Court provided little guidance about what sort of showing would be “truly persuasive.” Yet despite the uncertain contours of this constitutional right, federal courts have an obligation to treat actual-innocence claims just as they would any other constitutional claim brought pursuant to 28 U. S. C. § 2254. The rules governing federal habeas, not addressed by the Herrera majority, provide that “[a] district court may summarily dismiss a habeas petition only if ‘it plainly appears from the face of the petition and any exhibits annexed to it that the petitioner is not entitled to relief.’ 28 U. S. C. §2254 Rule 4.” 506 U. S., at 445 (dissenting opinion). “If . . . the petition raises factual questions and the State has failed to provide a full and fair hearing, the district court is required to hold an evidentiary hearing.” Id., at 441 (emphasis added), citing Townsend v. Sain, 372 U. S. 293, 313 (1963).

In this case, Blair has submitted seven affidavits tending to show that he is innocent of the crime for which he has been sentenced to death. The State does not dispute that no state court remains open to hear Blair’s claim. Because Blair’s affidavits raise factual questions that cannot be dismissed summarily, the District Court erred in denying petitioner’s claim without an evidentiary hearing.

    Guy v. Wisconsin.
   Sup. Ct. Wis. Certiorari denied.

Justice White,

with whom

Justice Thomas joins, dissenting.

In this case, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that police executing a search warrant for narcotics in a private residence were justified in frisking all persons found on the premises for weapons. Because that holding places the Wisconsin Supreme Court in conflict with other state courts, I would grant certiorari.

While executing a search warrant for cocaine at a residence, Milwaukee police rounded up the five persons found on the premises, handcuffed them, and frisked them for weapons. While patting down petitioner, an officer felt a soft bulge in petitioner’s pocket that she believed to be cocaine or marijuana. The officer asked petitioner what it was and petitioner told the officer to “[f]ind out for [herjself.” The officer then reached into the pocket and retrieved a baggie containing bindles of cocaine. In upholding petitioner’s conviction for possession of cocaine, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that the patdown search of petitioner was permissible under Terry v. Ohio, 392 U. S. 1 (1968), and that the seizure of the cocaine was proper under a “plain-touch corollary to the plain-view doctrine.” 172 Wis. 2d 86, 101, 492 N. W. 2d 311, 317 (1992).

In holding that police had reasonable suspicion to frisk petitioner, the court below noted that “[a] magistrate had found probable cause to believe that cocaine trafficking was taking place in the residence in which officers found [petitioner]” and that “weapons are often ‘tools of the trade’ for drug dealers.” Id., at 96, 492 N. W. 2d, at 315. Other state courts have upheld patdown searches of persons encountered during the execution of a narcotics search warrant in a private residence on the same rationale. See, e. g., State v. Alamont, 577 A. 2d 665, 667-668 (R. I. 1990); State v. Zearley, 444 N. W. 2d 353, 357 (N. D. 1989); People v. Thurman, 209 Cal. App. 3d 817, 824, 257 Cal. Rptr. 517, 520 (1989). Others, however, have disallowed patdown searches on essentially identical facts, holding that a defendant’s “ ‘mere presence’ at a private residence being searched pursuant to a search warrant cannot justify a frisk of [the defendant’s] person.” State v. Broadnax, 98 Wash. 2d 289, 295, 654 P. 2d 96, 101 (1982); see also United States v. Harvey, 897 F. 2d 1300, 1304, n. 2 (CA5 1990). Specifically, the courts disagree over whether this Court’s holding in Ybarra v. Illinois, 444 U. S. 85 (1979), that police could not frisk all persons present in a public tavern while executing a search warrant based merely on their presence there applies where a search warrant for drugs is executed in a private home. The court below distinguished Ybarra on the grounds that occupants found in a private residence, unlike those found in a public tavern, are "very likely” to be associated with any illegal narcotics activity on the premises and thus likely to be armed and dangerous. 172 Wis. 2d, at 98, 492 N. W. 2d, at 316; accord, Alamont, supra, at 668; Zearley, supra, at 357; Thurman, supra, at 824-825, 257 Cal. Rptr., at 520-521. The Washington Supreme Court in Broadnax, however, rejected this reasoning and held Ybarra to be controlling. Broadnax, supra, at 295, 654 P. 2d, at 101.

In my view, the issue is of significant practical importance to law enforcement officers executing search warrants and to the citizens they encounter while doing so. I would grant certiorari to resolve the constitutional question.

    DeBoer, aka Baby Girl Clausen, by Her Next Friend, Darrow v. DeBoer et al.; and DeBoer et al. v. Schmidt.
   Applications for stay, presented to Justice Blackmun, and by him referred to the Court, denied.

Justice Blackmun,

with whom

Justice O’Connor joins, dissenting.

This is a case that touches the raw nerves of life’s relationships. We have before us, in Jessica, a child of tender years who for her entire life has been nurtured by the DeBoers, a loving couple led to believe through the adoption process and the then-single biological mother’s consent, that Jessica was theirs. Now, the biological father appears, marries the mother, and claims paternal status toward Jessica.

The Supreme Court of Iowa has ruled that Jessica must be returned to her biological parents regardless of whether such action would be in her best interests. See In re B. G. C., 496 N. W. 2d 239 (1992). Jessica, through her next friend, filed an action in Michigan state court, claiming that she has a constitutional right to a determination of her best interests in awarding custody. The DeBoers also filed suit, arguing that federal law authorizes the Michigan state court to modify the custody decree issued in Iowa since the Iowa courts did not at all consider Jessica’s best interests, an argument supported by a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of New Jersey. See E. E. B. v. D. A., 89 N. J. 595, 446 A. 2d 871 (1982), cert. denied sub nom. Angle v. Bowen, 459 U. S. 1210 (1983). The Supreme Court of Michigan rejected the New Jersey decision and concluded that federal law requires deference to the custody decree issued in Iowa even if Jessica’s best interests are left unconsidered. See In re Clausen, 442 Mich. 648, 502 N. W. 2d 649 (1993).

Jessica, through her next friend, asks that we stay the decision of the Supreme Court of Michigan until we have had an opportunity to review the issues presented. While I am not sure where the ultimate legalities or equities lie, I am sure that I am not willing to wash my hands of this case at this stage, with the personal vulnerability of the child so much at risk, and with the Supreme Court of New Jersey and the Supreme Court of Michigan in fundamental disagreement over the duty and authority of state courts to consider the best interests of a child when rendering a custody decree.

Í therefore would grant the application for a stay, pending our careful and thoughtful consideration of the petition for certiorari and its disposition in due course. I dissent.
