Richard J. Fuller, Petitioner-appellant, v. Tana Wood, Superintendent Washington State Penitentiary,respondent-appellee, 112 F.3d 516 (9th Cir. 1997)

MEMORANDUM^** 

Washington state prisoner Richard J. Fuller appeals pro se the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition challenging his jury conviction for four counts of rape of a child. We review de novo a district court's decision on a section 2254 petition. Duckett v. Godinez, 67 F.3d 734, 739 (9th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 1549 (1996). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

During his incarceration in the Oregon state penitentiary, the state of Washington filed charges against Fuller and lodged a detainer against him under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers ("IAD"), 18 U.S.C.App. § 2; Wash.Rev.Code § 9.100.010. Fuller alleges that his rights were violated because he was not promptly notified of the detainer and was not tried within the time prescribed by the IAD. Fuller's claim is not cognizable under section 2254 because he did not register an objection to the trial date based on the IAD at the time the trial date was set and failed to demonstrate prejudice from the alleged violation. Reed v. Farley, 512 U.S. 339, 114 S. Ct. 2291, 2299 (1994) (plurality opinion).

We reject Fuller's claims that the district court lacked impartiality and failed to rule on all issues before it.

AFFIRMED.¹
