                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                              for the District of Oregon

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.
