MEMORANDUM**


2
Kevin Woodruff, a California state pretrial detainee, appeals pro se the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition claiming his pretrial bail of $100,000 violates the Due Process Clause and the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against excessive bail.   He contends his bail is excessive in light of his community ties, employment, and lack of violent criminal history;  the absence of danger to state's witnesses, who are incarcerated;  the lower bail set for a codefendant;  the length of his detention;  and the weakness of the evidence supporting the charges of assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, attempted armed robbery, and vehicle theft.   For the reasons stated in the district court's order of August 28, 1995, we find no constitutional violation.  See United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739, 754-55 (1987) (bail is excessive if set at amount higher than amount necessary to ensure protection of government interests such as safety of individuals or community);  Stack v. Boyle, 342 U.S. 1, 4-5 (1951) (bail is excessive if set at amount higher than amount reasonably calculated to ensure presence of accused at trial);  United States v. Gelfuso, 838 F.2d 358, 359 (9th Cir.1988) (length of pretrial detention may violate due process).1

 The state notes that Woodruff's conviction on related federal charges would render this appeal moot.   Despite Woodruff's recent federal conviction, however, the parties have not informed us of the dismissal of the state charges.   Accordingly, we address Woodruff's claim on its merits
Because we affirm the denial of relief under the former version of 28 U.S.C. § 2254, we do not consider whether the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 applies to this appeal.
