Davis v. Newland
Davis v. Newland
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
California prisoner Lee W. Davis appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition challenging his guilty-plea conviction for voluntary manslaughter. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
Because this court may not grant habeas relief unless the state court’s decision denying these claims was contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law, as determined by the United States Supreme Court, we affirm. See Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 56, 106 S.Ct. 366, 88 L.Ed.2d 203 (1985) (stating the Constitution does not require the state to furnish the defendant with information regarding parole eligibility for the defendant’s guilty plea to be voluntary).
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.
