MEMORANDUM **

Appellant appeals the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253, and we affirm.

Appellant sought habeas relief on three grounds. First, appellant argued that an in-court identification by a prosecution witness violated his due process rights. Second, he asserted that he was twice punished for the same course of criminal conduct, in violation of the Double Jeopardy Clause. Third, he argued that his conviction violated due process because there was insufficient evidence to support it. The district court denied appellant’s petition because none of these issues was fairly presented to both the Washington Court of Appeals and the Washington Supreme Court. We review a district court’s denial of a habeas petition de novo. See United States v. Alvarado, 252 F.3d 1066, 1068 (9th Cir.2001).

Crawford, 232 F.3d…
