MEMORANDUM **

The appellant, Kenneth Ray Buffer, appeals the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Buffer’s habeas petition is subject to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA), Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214 (1996).

The state trial court’s refusal to instruct the jury as to the elements of voluntary manslaughter did not violate Buffer’s rights to due process, equal protection or the effective assistance of counsel.
