Floyd subsequently appealed to the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On 11 October 2019, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of Floyd's habeas petition. Floyd's ensuing petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc was denied.

Floyd then pursued a pro se habeas petition in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, challenging his conviction and death sentence. The court stayed federal proceedings pending exhaustion of certain claims in state court, prompting Floyd to file a second state habeas petition in state district court. The state district court denied relief in April 2009 and the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed on appeal, holding that Floyd's second petition was untimely and successive. The U.S. District Court then lifted the stay in March 2011. Floyd filed a second amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus. In December 2014, the U.S. District Court granted in part the State's motion to dismiss and denied Floyd's remaining claims on the merits. However, it issued a certificate of appealability as to several issues.

Floyd filed a direct appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court, which affirmed his conviction and sentence in March 2002. In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari. Floyd then filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the state district court. The petition was denied. The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the denial.

Floyd went to trial under the judgment of a Nevada state jury. The jurors heard Floyd's confession and watched the video from store surveillance cameras.
