MEMORANDUM**


2
Jerry W. Davis, an Oregon state prisoner, appeals the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 habeas corpus petition.  We review de novo,  Norris v. Risley, 878 F.2d 1178, 1180 (9th Cir.1989), and we affirm.


3
In 1990, following a jury trial, Davis was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to a five-year term of imprisonment.  After exhausting state remedies, Davis filed his federal habeas petition, in which he claimed that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support his conviction.


4
In its order denying the habeas petition, the district court carefully reviewed the evidence against Davis.  We agree with the district court's conclusion that the evidence was sufficient to support Davis's conviction.   See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319 (1979) (conviction must be upheld if the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution, is sufficient to allow a rational jury to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt).  Accordingly, the district court correctly denied Davis's habeas petition.


5
AFFIRMED.
