Frederick Clark CREASY, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant, v. Dora B. SCHRIRO; State of Arizona Attorney General, Respondents-Appellees, 328 F. App'x 425

MEMORANDUM Arizona state prisoner Frederick Clark Creasy, Jr. appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm. Creasy’s request for appointment of counsel is denied as moot. Creasy contends that his trial and appellate counsel provided ineffective assistance in a number of ways. The state court’s rejection of these claims was not contrary to, nor an unreasonable application of, clearly established United States Supreme Court precedent. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1); see also Strickland v.

Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 688-91, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). To the extent Creasy raises uncertified claims, we construe the argument as a motion to expand the certificate of appeal-ability, and we deny the motion. See 9th Cir. Rule 22-1 (e); see also Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir.1999) (per curiam). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
