Herman Sanchez v. Greg Lewis

MEMORANDUM

Petitioner Herman Sanchez appeals from the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. Petitioner challenges the California Superior Court’s denial of his motion for discovery of a correctional officer’s personnel file for evidence of untruthfulness (“Pitchess motion”) without first conducting an in camera review. This court does not directly review questions of state evidence law, Jammal v. Van de Kamp, 926 F.2d 918, 919 (9th Cir.1991), and Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that the state court’s adjudication of his claim was “contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law.” 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (d).

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
