OPINION
_________________________
NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judge. Charles Michael pleaded guilty to first-degree sodomy
and first-degree sex abuse in Kentucky state court. Now, he seeks collateral review of his
conviction based on an alleged involuntary confession. The district court rejected his claim.
Because the Kentucky Supreme Court’s decision did not involve an unreasonable determination
of the facts or an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law, we affirm. |
