MEMORANDUM**

2
William Grant Odom, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 habeas petition challenging his state conviction for possessing stolen weapons, possessing precursors with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine and endangering two children.  We review de novo, Desire v. Attorney General of California, 969 F.2d 802, 804 (9th Cir.1992), and affirm.

3
Odom contends that the search of the residence where he was arrested violated the fourth amendment.  A fourth amendment claim is not cognizable in a federal habeas proceeding where the state has provided "an opportunity for full and fair litigation" of the claim.  Stone v. Powell, 428 U.S. 465, 494 (1976).  Because Odom had a full and fair opportunity to litigate his fourth amendment claim in California state court, see Cal.Penal Code Sec. 1538.5;  Gordon v. Duran, 895 F.2d 610, 613 (9th Cir.1990), the district court properly rejected this contention.

4
Odom also contends that his due process rights were violated in state post-conviction proceedings.  Allegations of error in state post-conviction proceedings are not cognizable in federal habeas proceedings.  Franzen v. Brinkman, 877 F.2d 26 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 1012 (1989).  Accordingly, the district properly denied Odom's habeas petition.

5
AFFIRMED.
