Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit March 17, 2003, No. 00-15723; D.C. No. CV-97-00714-ROS (Clay v. Stewart)

MEMORANDUM**

Arizona state prisoner Wade Nolan Clay appeals pro se the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We review de novo, Shumway v. Payne, 223 F.3d 982, 984 (9th Cir.2000), and we affirm in part and reverse in part.

Clay contends that the district court erred in finding that his petition contained unexhausted issues.
