US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 872 F.2d 430 (9th Cir. 1989)

Robert R. SHAW, Petitioner-Appellant,v.Robert WINTER, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 88-15203.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted*  April 10, 1989.Decided April 13, 1989.

Before CHAMBERS, WALLACE and WIGGINS, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM

Shaw appeals pro se from the district court's denial of his habeas corpus petition. Shaw challenged his conviction for attempting to receive stolen property under Cal. Penal Code Secs. 496 and 664 on the ground that case law interpreting Cal. Penal Code Sec. 496 conflicts with Article IV, Section 9 of the California Constitution. The district court had jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. We have jurisdiction over this timely appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We review the denial of a habeas corpus petition independently. Weygandt v. Ducharme, 774 F.2d 1491, 1492 (9th Cir. 1985). Adopting the reasoning expressed by the district court as our own, we affirm.

AFFIRMED.
