Granval Hunter v. Matthew Kramer

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUN 15 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT GRANVAL G. HUNTER, No. 08-16791 Petitioner - Appellant, D.C. No. 2:07-cv-02792-MCE v. MEMORANDUM * MATTHEW KRAMER, Warden; et al., Respondents - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California Morrison C. England, Jr., District Judge, Presiding Submitted May 25, 2010 ** Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges. California state prisoner Granval G. Hunter appeals from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 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). Hunter contends that his time-barred habeas petition should be addressed on the merits because he is actually innocent of the conduct used to enhance his sentence. Because Hunter has failed to present any evidence of his innocence, the district court did not err by dismissing his petition. See Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298, 316-17 (1995). AFFIRMED. 2 08-16791
