GLASGOW v. DUCART (2019)

MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner Christopher N. Glasgow appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. Reviewing de novo, see Smith v. Ryan, 823 F.3d 1270, 1278 (9th Cir. 2016), we affirm.

Glasgow contends that there was insufficient evidence to support one of his convictions for transportation and sale of cocaine base. Viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution, the evidence underlying this count could enable a rational trier of fact to find the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. See Jones v. Wood, 207 F.3d 557, 563 (9th Cir. 2000). The state court’s rejection of this claim, therefore, was neither contrary to, nor an unreasonable application of, Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979). See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1).

The motion to expand the certificate of appealability is denied. See Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir. 1999).

AFFIRMED.
