Cagley

MEMORANDUM *

Brett Cagley, a California state prisoner, appeals from the district court’s denial of his petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for a writ of habeas corpus challenging his convictions for lewd and lascivious acts upon a child under the age of 14 years under California Penal Code § 288(a) and for child molestation under California Penal Code § 647.6(a).
