    Burno refused to file a state Post Conviction Relief Act petition, thus defaulting his (seemingly strong) ineffective assistance of counsel claims.

    Accordingly, on November 22, 2019, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania DENIED his habeas petition.

    I can't get over this quote from the opinion:
    The Court also cautioned Burno by asking him, “[D]o you understand that if you do not pursue the PCRA process, you’re going to lose” the ineffective assistance of counsel claims? . . . Nonetheless, in response to the Court’s understanding that Burno refused to go through PCRA process, Burno stated, “You got that right.”
    Oh well, I welcome his pigheadedness.

    On September 8, 2021, Burno filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
