1Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM: *
Following a bench trial, Deidre Pierre, Louisiana prisoner # 445265, was convicted of one count of second-degree murder and one count of attempted second-degree murder. She was sentenced to life in prison for the murder and to a term of ten years imprisonment for the attempted murder. Pierre filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition alleging that nothing in the record shows that she knowingly and intelligently waived her constitutional right to a jury trial. The district court denied the petition with prejudice. Pierre appeals the district court’s denial of her petition. We affirm.
