Gustavo Gomez v. Matthew Cate

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner Gustavo Gomez appeals from the district court’s judgment denying and dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We may affirm on any ground supported by the record. See Washington v. Lampert, 422 F.3d 864, 869 (9th Cir. 2005).

Gomez contends that the Board of Prison Terms’s 2007 decision finding him unsuitable for parole is not supported by some evidence. Even assuming that his petition is timely, Gomez is not entitled to relief because the record reflects that Gomez received all process that was due. See Swarthout v. Cooke, — U.S.-, 131 S.Ct. 859, 862-63, 178 L.Ed.2d 732 (2011) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
