MEMORANDUM
Former Oregon state prisoner Robert Strong appeals from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
Strong contends that his trial attorney rendered ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to call his niece to testify regarding his character and reputation for sexual propriety. We affirm the district court’s denial of relief because the record shows that the state court did not unreasonably apply Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984), in concluding that Strong failed to demonstrate that his counsel performed deficiently. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1); Harrington v. Richter, — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 770, 785-87, 178 L.Ed.2d 624 (2011).
AFFIRMED.
