S. C. §2254(d), unless the claims adjudication resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as determined by [this] Court, §2254(d)(1), or based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding, §2254(d)(2).
