Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 931 F.2d 897 (9th Cir. 1991)

Gary Elton SMOOT, Petitioner-Appellant,v.Andrew MILLER, et al., Respondents-Appellees.

No. 90-35515.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted April 19, 1991.* Decided April 29, 1991.

Before POOLE, D.W. NELSON and NOONAN, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Gary Elton Smoot, a former Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we review de novo, Norris v. Risley, 878 F.2d 1178, 1180 (9th Cir. 1989).

Smoot contends that the affidavit for the search warrant was insufficient to support probable cause. He also contends that the confidential informant should have been disclosed and been made to testify at his trial.1  We affirm the denial of Smoot's habeas corpus petition for the reasons stated in the district court's well-reasoned and thorough order.

AFFIRMED.

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

Smoot raised several other issues in the district court which he has failed to raise on appeal. Thus, any issues he did not raise here are deemed abandoned. See Wilcox v. Commissioner, 848 F.2d 1007, 1008 n. 2 (9th Cir. 1988)
