1Opinion of the Court

WINTER, Chief Judge:

Michael Farrington appeals from Judge Parker’s dismissal of his habeas petition brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Appellant argues that: (i) the evidence at trial was insufficient as a matter of law to support his felony murder and attempted robbery convictions; (ii) he was deprived of effective assistance of counsel when his attorney failed to cross-examine a witness based on a videotaped statement and to object to certain jury instructions; and (iii) the prosecutor’s statements to the jury deprived him of a fair trial. We affirm.
