MEMORANDUM *

Michael Corjasso (“Corjasso”) appeals the denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus, which sought relief from his state court conviction for first degree murder with special circumstances. Corjasso here argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial attorney did not question, challenge, or object to a particular juror remaining on the panel.

We review the district court’s factual findings for clear error. Id. (referring to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (e)(1)); see also Buckley v. Terhune, 441 F.3d 688, 694 (9th Cir.2006). 1 We find that the petition for habeas corpus was properly denied, and therefore we affirm.

This court previously reviewed Corjasso’s claim that he was denied due process *569 when Grace Hill, a client of another lawyer in the prosecutor’s law firm, was allowed to serve on Corjasso’s jury and that Corjasso’s counsel was ineffective in failing to challenge juror Hill for cause.
