Luis Roberto MARTINEZ, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Darrel G. ADAMS, Warden, Respondent-Appellee, 362 F. App'x 882

MEMORANDUM California state prisoner Luis Roberto Martinez appeals 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. Martinez contends his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to conduct an adequate investigation and present evidence concerning the defense of third-party culpability. The record reflects that the state court’s rejection of this claim was neither contrary to, nor an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1); Strickland v.

Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
