California state prisoner William Gilchrist appeals pro se from the district

jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
SR/Research
Gilchrist contends that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object
to the admission of certain evidence. The record reflects that Gilchrist has failed to
show prejudice from the allegedly deficient performance or that the state court’s
rejection of his ineffective assistance of counsel claim was an unreasonable
application of clearly established United States Supreme Court precedent. See 28
U.S.C. § 2254(d); see also Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984).
AFFIRMED.
