   MEMORANDUM

Luis Felipe Casas-Castrillon, no longer in state custody, brought a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition challenging his 1996 state burglary conviction. He argues that the district court failed to construe his petition as a petition for a writ of error coram nobis.

Coram nobis relief is not available in federal court to attack a state court conviction. See, e.g., Madigan v. Wells, 224 F.2d 577, 578 n. 2 (9th Cir.1955), cert. denied, 351 U.S. 911, 76 S.Ct. 700, 100 L.Ed. 1446 (1956); see also Finkelstein v. Spitzer, 455 F.3d 131, 134 (2d Cir.2006). Had the district court construed Casas-Castrillon’s habeas petition as a petition for a writ of error coram nobis, it would have had to deny the petition.

AFFIRMED.
