MEMORANDUM^**

In an unpublished opinion and order filed December 14, 1988, the district court concluded that petitioner-appellant Don M. Zufelt's federal constitutional rights to a fair trial, to confront witnesses, and to trial by jury had not been violated in his California state prosecution and conviction of various sex crimes committed against his daughter. Judgment was entered denying Zufelt's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, which he had filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Zufelt appeals.

The excellent opinion and order prepared by United States District Court Judge Eugene F. Lynch addresses and thoroughly considers all of the issues Zufelt presents in his appeal to this court. For the reasons, and based upon the analysis, set forth in Judge Lynch's opinion and order, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for disposition without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
