State v. Kirk, 00-190 (La.App. 4 Cir. 11/13/02) , 833 So.2d 418 , writ denied 02-3079 (La.5/9/03), 843 So.2d 394 , (citing Roska v. Peterson, 304 F.3d 982 (10th Cir.2002), abrogated in part on other grounds, 328 F.3d 1230 (10th Cir.2003)).

McArthur, 531 U.S. 326 , 121 S.Ct. 946 , 148 L.Ed.2d 838 (2001).” Id. at 420 .”
