Robinson v. Lewis
Robinson v. Lewis
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Ronnie Robinson, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition challenging his jury conviction for possession of cocaine base for sale and his three strikes sentence of 25 years to life imprisonment.
Robinson contends that his 25 years to life plus ten years sentence under California’s three strikes law, CaLPenal Code Ann. § 667 (West 1999), constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. This contention is foreclosed by the Supreme Court’s decisions in Lockyer v. Andrade, — U.S. -, 123 S.Ct. 1166, 1174, 155 L.Ed.2d 155
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
. Robinson’s motion for bail pending appeal and his motion for appointment of counsel are both denied.
