Unpublished Disposition, 930 F.2d 28 (9th Cir. 1991)

No. 89-15492.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Before POOLE, CANBY and DAVID R. THOMPSON, Circuit Judges

MEMORANDUM^** 

Petitioner, Minor Moody (Moody) appeals pro se from the dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for failure to exhaust state remedies. The decision whether to grant or deny a petition for habeas corpus is reviewed de novo, United States v. Popoola, 881 F.2d (9th Cir. 1989), and we affirm.

Exhaustion of all available state remedies as to every claim made within the habeas petition is a prerequisite before a federal court will entertain the petition. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b); Rose v. Lundy, 455 U.S. 509, 510 (1982).

Moody alleges four grounds in support of his request for habeas corpus relief. Those grounds are that he was forced to represent himself, that false evidence was presented to the jury, that he suffered a Miranda rights violation, and that the court should have given further jury instructions. However, Moody admits that none of these claims have been presented to the state's highest court to satisfy the requirement of exhaustion of available state remedies. Petition, at 5-6. Thus, he has not exhausted all of his state remedies, and the district court did not err in dismissing his habeas petition.

AFFIRMED.
