Jackie Osby v. J. Salazar

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION APR 11 2011 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JACKIE OSBY, No. 08-55913 Petitioner - Appellant, D.C. No. 2:07-cv-04439-ODW v. MEMORANDUM * J. F. SALAZAR, Warden, Respondent - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Otis D. Wright, District Judge, Presiding Submitted April 5, 2011 ** Before: B. FLETCHER, CLIFTON, and BEA, Circuit Judges. Jackie Osby appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253,*** * 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). *** We certify for appeal, on our own motion, the issue of whether Osby was entitled to a 19-year determinate sentence. We decline to certify the additional arguments. See 9th Cir. R. 22-1(e); see also Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, and we affirm. Osby contends that his right to due process was violated because he was denied parole in violation of the terms of his plea agreement. The record belies Osby’s claim that the state offered a determinate 19-year sentence. Further, the state court’s rejection of this claim was neither contrary to, nor involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1); cf. Brown v. Poole, 337 F.3d 1155, 1159-60 (9th Cir. 2003). Osby’s motion for appointment of counsel is denied. AFFIRMED. 1104-05 (9th Cir. 1999) (per curiam). 2 08-55913
