Description
The first of the issues raised in appellant Jerry Mason's ("Mason") appeal -- whether a state court's inordinate delay of four years in processing a petition for collateral relief under Pennsylvania's Post Conviction Relief Act, 42 Pa. Cons. Stat. SS 9541 et seq. ("PCRA") constitutes a due process violation cognizable in a federal habeas corpus proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. S 2254*fn1 - has already been addressed and resolved by this court. See Hassine v. Zimmerman, 160 F.3d 941 (3d Cir. 1998) (holding that a delay in processing a collateral proceeding is not cognizable in federal habeas corpus, even if the delay amounts to a constitutional violation); Heiser v. Ryan, 15 F.3d 299 (3d Cir. 1994).
