ORDER

Charles Keating was convicted of violating California Corporations Code § 25401, which prohibits the offer or sale of securities by means of material misrepresentations or omissions. Keating’s conviction was upheld by the California Court of Appeals. People v. Keating, 19 Cal.Rptr.2d 899 (Ct.App.2 Dist.1993). The California Supreme Court granted review, but denied the petition without opinion. People v. Keating, 39 Cal.Rptr.2d 410 , 890 P.2d 1119 (1995).

Keating’s Petition for Review to the California Supreme Court did not include a claim raised in his federal habeas petition that the instruction given to the jury on aiding and abetting omitted any mens rea element and thus violated Keating’s due process rights and constituted an ex post facto law.

A magistrate judge recommended that Keating’s federal habeas petition be dismissed without prejudice because Keating failed to inform the California Supreme Court that he was asserting a federal due process claim, as required by Duncan v. Henry, 513 U.S. 364 , 115 S.Ct. 887 , 130 L.Ed.2d 865 (1995).

The district court rejected the magistrate judge’s recommendation, ruling that Keating had presented the substance of his constitutional claim to the California Supreme Court and was not required to invoke “the talis-manie phrase ‘due process of law5 in the state proceedings,” citing Tamapua v. Shimoda, 796 F.2d 261, 263 (9th Cir.1986).

The Supreme Court in Duncan explicitly rejected the Tamapua analysis, stating:

Id. at 365 , 115 S.Ct. at 888 .

We have repudiated Tamapua on the basis of Duncan . In Crotts v. Smith, 73 F.3d 861 , 865 n. 3 (9th Cir.1996), we stated that “[i]n light of the Court’s recent decision in Duncan v. Henry, we see no need to apply the exhaustion analysis set forth in Tamapua v. Shimoda . ...” In Johnson v. Zenon, 88 F.3d 828, 830 (9th Cir.1996), we said:

The district court erred in concluding that Keating raised his federal habeas claim in his opening brief in support of his Petition for Review. The district court relied on an argument in petitioner’s opening brief that aider and abettor liability does not apply to violations of Section 25401. However, the discussion made no reference to Keating’s federal claim that the aiding and abetting instruction lacked a proper mens rea element and thus violated Keating’s federal due process rights.

Keating argued in his reply brief that the jury instructions did not include a mens rea requirement, but did not argue that this omission violated the U.S. Constitution.

Because the constitutional claim raised in Keating’s federal habeas petition has not been fairly presented to the California Supreme Court, Keating has not exhausted his state court remedies, and his petition for habeas corpus must be dismissed without prejudice.

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
