pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
Johnson contends that the trial court violated his Sixth Amendment rights by
imposing consecutive sentences based on factual findings that were not proven
beyond a reasonable doubt. Our independent review of the record, see Larson v.
Palmateer, 515 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir. 2008), indicates that the state courts’
rejection of Johnson’s Sixth Amendment claim was not contrary to, and did not
involve an unreasonable application of, clearly established Supreme Court law.
See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1); see also Oregon v. Ice, 129 S. Ct. 711, 714-15 (2009);
Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000).
AFFIRMED.
