Decided 2010-01-07

¶1 MEMORANDUM

¶2 California state prisoner William Gilchrist appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

¶3 Gilchrist contends that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the admission of certain evidence. The record reflects that Gilchrist has failed to show prejudice from the allegedly deficient per *815 formance or that the state court’s rejection of his ineffective assistance of counsel claim was an unreasonable application of clearly established United States Supreme Court precedent. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); see also Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984).

¶4 AFFIRMED.

¶5 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
