District court judgment denying petition for habeas corpus is affirmed where: 1) a state court’s conclusion that the nondisclosure of a nonprosecution agreement with a key witness could not have influenced the jury was not contrary to or involve an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law; and 2) its conclusion that defendant failed to establish that the Commonwealth had a duty to investigate or disclose additional details about an informant was not contrary to or an unreasonable application of Supreme Court precedent.
