The following excerpt is from Watter v. Myers, 19 F.3d 32 (9th Cir. 1994):
Watter contends the prosecutor committed misconduct by introducing unauthenticated evidence and expressing his personal opinion with respect to Watter's guilt and the credibility of a witness. Upon an independent review, the court finds the record does not support Watter's contentions. Accordingly, habeas relief is inappropriate. See Darden v. Wainwright, 477 U.S. 168, 181 (1986) (habeas relief only proper when the prosecutor's misconduct infected the trial with unfairness).
The district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.
