    Before KOZINSKI, W. FLETCHER and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

1. The California Court of Appeal’s rejection of appellant’s prosecutorial misconduct claim was not contrary to clearly established federal law. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d). Additionally, the court’s determination that the government did not violate its duty to disclose was not contrary to Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963), or any other clearly established federal law.

2. We construe appellant’s request that we address his uncertified claim based on admission of prior bad acts evidence as a request to broaden the certificate of appealability, see Solis v. Garcia, 219 F.3d 922, 926 (9th Cir.2000) (per curiam), which we deny, see Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 483-84, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 146 L.Ed.2d 542 (2000).

AFFIRMED.
