Elisabeth A. Shumaker
Clerk of Court
No. 07-6033
v.
(W .D. Oklahoma)
JUSTIN JONES,
Respondent - Appellee.
OR DER
In the reply brief Shouse filed with the district court, he argued the
OCCAs application of a new standard of review to his sufficiency of the
evidence claim was an ex post facto violation. But see Warner v. Oklahoma, 144
P.3d 838, 862-63 (Okla. Crim. App. 2006) (concluding application of new
standard of review did not violate the Due Process Clause or ex post facto
principles). W e do not consider Shouses arguments relating to this claim
because it was not asserted in the state post-conviction proceedings but was raised
for the first time in the reply brief. Thus, Respondent had no opportunity to
either address it on the merits or argue it is subject to application of an
anticipatory procedural bar.
