Michael Howard POLAND, Petitioner-Appellant, v. CLARK, Respondent-Appellee, 372 F. App'x 730

MEMORANDUM California state prisoner Michael Howard Poland appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm. Poland contends that the trial court violated his constitutional rights by denying his motion for a mistrial because the jury committed misconduct by considering, during deliberations, a transcript that was not admitted into evidence.

The record reflects that the California state court’s rejection of this claim did not result in a decision that was “contrary to, or involve[ ] an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law,” or “an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding.” See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); see also Mancuso v. Olivarez, 292 F.3d 939, 949-53 (9th Cir.2002). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
