BYE, Circuit Judge.
Stanley Carter Liggins was convicted in Iowa state court of first-degree murder in the death of nine-year-old Jennifer Lewis. Liggins’s direct appeal and state petition for post-conviction relief were denied. Thereafter, he petitioned the federal district court for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The district court 1 dismissed the petition and issued a certificate of appealability (COA). On appeal, Lig-gins asks us to dismiss the indictment or vacate his conviction and remand for a new trial. We affirm.
