                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:06-CV-382

Before BENAVIDES, PRADO and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Freddie Demoris Bradley, Texas prisoner # 1131925, appeals the district
court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for habeas relief. Bradley
claims that the evidence at trial was legally insufficient to support the jury’s
verdict that he was guilty of robbery. Specifically, he asserts that no evidence
in the record supports a finding that he “intentionally or knowingly threaten[ed]

        *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .
R. 47.5.4.

or place[d] another in fear of imminent bodily injury or death.” See T EX. P ENAL
C ODE A NN. § 29.02(a)(2).
      We have reviewed the record and the briefs submitted by the parties and
hold that Bradley failed to meet his burden of establishing that the state court’s
adjudication of his claims resulted in a decision that was contrary to federal law.
See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 402-13 (2000); Jackson
v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 324-25 (1979); Wilmeth v. State, 808 S.W.2d 703,
705-06 (Tex. Ct. App. 1991). Accordingly, we affirm.
      AFFIRMED.
