MEMORANDUM ***

California state prisoner Ronald Eugene Reeve appeals the district court’s order denying his claim for habeas relief. 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

We review the district court’s denial of Reeve’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus de novo, and the district court’s factual findings for clear error. Correll v. Ryan, 539 F.3d 938 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.

The California state court’s finding that Reeve’s confession was voluntary was not unreasonable, despite the fact that he was prohibited from contacting anyone outside the jail in Utah for twenty-two hours before his interrogation while the Utah police and he waited for the police from California to arrive. While “lengthy ... incommunicado incarceration before a statement is made” is evidence that a statement is involuntary, Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 476, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), a twenty-two hour incommunicado detention without more is not enough.

Reeve was told that his incommunicado incarceration would last only until the detectives from California arrived. While he waited, he did not ask for a lawyer, he was not interrogated, nor was he threatened or intimidated by anyone. When the California detectives arrived, he was given and then voluntarily waived his Miranda rights. At no point during the subsequent interrogations did he suggest he did not want to talk anymore to the police nor did he request an attorney. When he did ask the California police if he could make a telephone calls, they allowed him to make several. Nor did Reeve identify anything coercive in the two-hour interrogation.

Reeve’s decision to answer questions from the police and to confess to killing the victim both to the police and then to his father over the telephone in the presence of the police, was not coerced by the police. There is no evidence that Reeve’s will was overborne by the twenty-two horn* wait during which the telephones were shut off. As such, his statement was voluntary and admissible.

AFFIRMED.
