MEMORANDUM

Elijah White, a California state prisoner, appeals the district court’s denial of his habeas corpus petition. We affirm. Because the factual and procedural baekground is familiar to the parties, we need not recount it here.

I

White challenges the jury instructions as ambiguous. On federal habeas review, the question is not whether the instruction was deficient. Rather, the question is “whether the ailing instruction by itself so infected the entire trial that the resulting conviction violates due process.” Estelle v. McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 72 , 112 S.Ct. 475 , 116 L.Ed.2d 385 (1991) (quoting Cupp v. Naughten, 414 U.S. 141, 147 , 94 S.Ct. 396 , 38 L.Ed.2d 368 (1973)). Here, the California Court of Appeal determined that White’s proposed definitions of residence and knowledge do not accurately reflect California law. We are bound by that determination. Bradshaw v. Richey, 546 U.S. 74, 76 , 126 S.Ct. 602 , 163 L.Ed.2d 407 (2005). The state appellate court also determined that the “regularly resided” element was “squarely before the jury,” even though not separately enumerated in the jury instructions. This conclusion was not objectively unreasonable. 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (d). Thus, the district court properly concluded that the jury instructions given by the state trial court did not violate White’s due process rights.

II

The California Court of Appeal’s conclusion that the term residence in Cal.Penal Code § 290 was not unconstitutionally vague was not an objectively unreasonable application of federal law. 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (d). As the California Court of Appeal pointed out, the definition given to the jury was the same definition in the prevail ing case law prior to White’s arrest, and should have given him notice of what conduct was prohibited.

Ill

After thoroughly reviewing the record, and applying the appropriate standard of review, we conclude that there was sufficient evidence to support the verdict. See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 326 , 99 S.Ct. 2781 , 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979) (explaining that a federal court may grant a petition for habeas corpus due to insufficient evidence if it finds that no rational trier of fact could have found proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.).

AFFIRMED.
