Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Joaquin Leso Fernandez appeals pro se from the district court's judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
Fernandez contends that there was insufficient evidence to sustain his conviction of second degree murder as the natural and probable consequence of the assault on the victim. We conclude that the state court's decision rejecting this claim was not contrary to or an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); see also Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979).
AFFIRMED.
