Davis contends that the state court’s selection of an upper-term sentence on
the basis of a fact not found by the jury, namely, that he was on parole at the time
of the burglary in this case, was not rendered harmless by the probation report’s
uncontested representation that Davis was on parole at the time of the crime. This
contention fails. Upon review of the record, we are not left in grave doubt that a
jury would have found beyond a reasonable doubt that Davis was on parole at the
time that he committed the crime in this case; thus, the district court correctly
determined that the Apprendi error was harmless. See Estrella v. Ollison, 668 F.3d
593, 598-600 (9th Cir. 2011).
AFFIRMED.
