FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION MAR 26 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT MICHAEL HOWARD POLAND, No. 07-56702 Petitioner - Appellant, D.C. No. CV-06-01368-MLH v. MEMORANDUM * CLARK, Respondent - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Marilyn L. Huff, District Judge, Presiding Submitted March 16, 2010 ** Before: SCHROEDER, PREGERSON, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges. California state prisoner Michael Howard Poland appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his
28 U.S.C. § 2254petition. We have jurisdiction pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). NC/Research Poland contends that the trial court violated his constitutional rights by denying his motion for a mistrial because the jury committed misconduct by considering, during deliberations, a transcript that was not admitted into evidence. The record reflects that the California state court’s rejection of this claim did not result in a decision that was “contrary to, or involve[] an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law,” or “an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding.” See
28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); see also Mancuso v. Olivarez,
292 F.3d 939, 949-53 (9th Cir. 2002). AFFIRMED. NC/Research 2 07-56702
