MEMORANDUM *

Robert Hayden Nesbitt, Jr. appeals the district court’s denial of his habeas petition brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

Under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA), ha- *642 beas relief is only available if a state court’s ruling was “contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of,” Supreme Court law that was “clearly established” at the time the state court adjudicated the claim on the merits. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1); Greene v. Fisher, — U.S. —, 132 S.Ct. 38, 43-44, 181 L.Ed.2d 336 (2011).

The California Court of Appeal’s denial of Nesbitt’s due process claim was not unreasonable or contrary to federal law. First, Nesbitt’s claim that the trial court erred by taking judicial notice of a probation report from his juvenile case file was procedurally defaulted. See Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 729, 111 S.Ct. 2546, 115 L.Ed.2d 640 (1991). This court has held that California consistently applies its contemporaneous objection rule when a party fails to object to the admission of evidence, making it an independent and adequate state ground. Fairbank v. Ayers, 650 F.3d 1243, 1256 (9th Cir. 2011). Second, even if Nesbitt had timely objected, the California Court of Appeal was not unreasonable in determining that he could not establish prejudice because the trial court did not clearly rely on the contents of the report.

We decline to expand the certificate of appealability to encompass Nesbitt’s un-certified ineffective assistance of counsel claim because no “substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right” has been made with respect to this claim. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); see Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 483-85, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 146 L.Ed.2d 542 (2000), Given the nature of the charged offenses and the seriousness of his criminal history, Nesbitt cannot demonstrate that any alleged ineffective assistance resulted in prejudice. 1 See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 694, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984).

AFFIRMED.
