23-2316
Criminal. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Jon DeGuilio. Affirms the district court’s denial of Donnell Wilson’s petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus.

Also finds the district court denied relief on the merits, finding that the Indiana Supreme Court decision rejected Wilson’s Eighth Amendment claim under Miller on the merits and that the rejection was neither contrary to nor an unreasonable application of Supreme Court precedent.
