BAER, District Judge.
Pro se petitioner Juan Herrera seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging his April 13, 1993 conviction for murder in the second degree and arson in the second degree. Herrera raises the following challenges to his conviction: (1) that the state trial court erred in admitting evidence of petitioner’s threatening gesture to a State’s witness, (2) that the court’s erroneous Sandoval ruling prevented him from testifying at trial, and (3) that the court’s sentence was excessive. For the following reasons, the petition is dismissed.
