MEMORANDUM **
Frankie Lee Williams appeals the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. We affirm. Even if the evidence meets the first two requirements of a Brady 1 violation, it fails to meet the third: prejudice.2
Prejudice, in this context, involves establishing “a reasonable probability of a different result” at trial had the evidence not been withheld.3 Williams has not done so. Had counsel known that Schlemmer had seen the photograph, he would have had additional support for his motion seeking a special identification procedure, and he might have chosen to present a pretrial motion to suppress. In addition, he could have prepared to cross-examine Schlem-mer more fully. Williams fails to show how any of these things establish a reasonable probability that the result of his trial would have differed. And, in light of the rest of the facts, we see no such probability ourselves.
The district court correctly concluded that the state court proceedings did not result in a “decision that was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, *265clearly established Federal law.”4 Accordingly, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
