MEMORANDUM **
California state prisoner Vance Edward Johnson appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition, challenging his jury-trial conviction for carjacking by use of a firearm, second degree robbery, attempted second degree robbery by use of a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a felon. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253, and we affirm.
Johnson contends that his federal due process rights were violated by: 1) the admission of evidence of uncharged crimes; 2) the admission of unreliable witness identifications; 3) the admission of prior testimony of an unavailable witness; 4) an erroneous jury instruction; 5) an inadequate record on appeal; and 6) ineffective assistance by appellate counsel. We conclude that the state court’s rejection of these claims was not objectively unreasonable. See Himes v. Thompson, 336 F.3d 848, 852-53 (9th Cir.2003); see also Jackson v. Brown, 513 F.3d 1057, 1084 (9th Cir.2008); Turner v. Calderon, *689 281 F.3d 851, 872 (9th Cir.2002); Johnson v. Sublett, 63 F.3d 926, 929 (9th Cir.1995); Jammal v.
