corpus is sought by one who no longer enjoys the
presumption of innocence.” Canford v. Davenport, 350
F.Supp. 1020, 1026 (D.N.J. 1972).
- Standards Governing Pending State’s Appeal
Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 107 S.Ct. 2113,
95 L.Ed.2d 724 (1987). In determining whether to stay
a district court order granting relief to a habeas petitioner
pending the state’s appeal, federal courts are not
restricted to considering only petitioner’s risk of flight,
but are authorized to consider traditional stay factors
including the risk that petitioner would pose a danger to
the public if released, the state’s interest in continuing
custody and rehabilitation, interest of the habeas
petitioner in release pending appeal and likelihood of the
state’s success on the merits of the appeal, thereby
abrogating Carter v. Rafferty, 781 F.2d 993 (3d Cir.
1986). See Love v. Morton, 944 F. Supp. 379, 391-92
(D.N.J. 1996), aff’d, 112 F.3d 131 (1997).
