Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Cion Adonis Peralta appeals pro se from the district court's judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition challenging a prison disciplinary action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 , and we affirm.
Peralta contends that his due process rights were violated at the disciplinary hearing when he was precluded from calling staff and inmate witnesses and from cross-examining the testifying witness. Peralta also contends that his due process rights were violated when he was denied a mental health assessment prior to the disciplinary hearing.
The record reflects that Peralta received all process that was due and that some evidence supports the disciplinary findings. See Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 563-67, 94 S.Ct. 2963, 41 L.Ed.2d 935 (1974); see also Superintendent v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445, 455, 105 S.Ct. 2768, 86 L.Ed.2d 356 (1985). Contrary to Peralta's contentions, no due process violation resulted from the failure to call witnesses who could not provide any new relevant information or from the lack of the opportunity to cross-examine the testifying witness. See Baxter v. Palmigiano, 425 U.S. 308, 321, 96 S.Ct. 1551, 47 L.Ed.2d 810 (1976); see also Bostic v. Carlson, 884 F.2d 1267, 1271-72 (9th Cir.1989). Moreover, the prison official's determination that no mental health assessment was required was neither contrary to, nor involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law, nor was the decision based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(l)-(2).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
. We certify for appeal, on our own motion, the issue of whether Peralta's due process rights were violated at the disciplinary hearing where Peralta was found guilty of threatening staff.
