MEMORANDUM*

SCOTT FRAUENHEIM, Warden,

Respondent-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California Edward M. Chen, District Judge, Presiding

Argued and Submitted March 9, 2022 San Francisco, California

Before: S.R. THOMAS, McKEOWN, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.

Juan Gomez seeks review of a district court judgment denying his petition for

a writ of habeas corpus. We certified for appeal the question of whether Gomez’s

“trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by conceding guilt on all three counts

of oral copulation with a child.” We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and

2253. We review de novo a district court’s denial of a habeas petition, see Lopez v.
