Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Louis Jesus Comaduran appeals pro se from the district court's order denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
Comaduran contends that the California trial court violated his right to due process when it joined charges arising from three 2005 incidents. Contrary to Comaduran's contention, the California appellate court's rejection of this claim was neither contrary to nor an unreasonable application of federal law, nor based on an unreasonable determination of the facts. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); Collins v. Runnels, 603 F.3d 1127, 1132 (9th Cir.2010).
We construe appellant's Sixth Amendment arguments as a motion to expand the certificate of appealability. So construed, the motion is denied. See 9th Cir. R. 22-lie); see also Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir.1999) (per curiam).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by determining that an evidentiary hearing was unnecessary. See United States v. Reyes-Alvarado, 963 F.2d 1184, 1188-89 (9th Cir.1992).
Having resolved all issues related to this appeal, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
We certify for appeal, on our own motion, the issue of whether the state court violated Comaduran's right to due process by failing to sever the charges related to the home invasion robbery from charges related to the subsequent high-speed chase. See 9th Cir. R. 22-1(e).
