Sammy ZAMARO, Petitioner—Appellant, v. ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al. Respondents—Appellees.
    No. 02-57012.
    D.C. No. CV-01-01304-BTM.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted June 13, 2003.
    
    Decided July 17, 2003.
    Before SKOPIL, FERGUSON, and BOOCHEVER, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Sammy Zamaro appeals from the district court’s denial of his petition for habeas corpus under 18 U.S.C. § 2254. We have jurisdiction over this appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 2253(a), and we affirm.

We grant habeas relief only if the state court decision (1) “was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court ...; or (2) resulted in a decision that was based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding.” 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d).

The state appellate court found that even if Zamaro’s attorney erred in failing to object to all of Detective Aguirre’s testimony, there was ample additional evidence of Zamaro’s guilt. The court concluded that there was no reasonable probability that the result of the proceeding would have been different absent counsel’s alleged error. See Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 406, 120 S.Ct. 1495, 146 L.Ed.2d 389 (2000). Zamaro has not demonstrated that the decision, which applied clearly established federal law, was based on an unreasonable determination of the facts given the evidence presented at trial.

AFFIRMED.
