We review de novo the dismissal of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Calderon v. Prunty, 59 F.3d 1005, 1009 (9th Cir.1995). We affirm because we conclude that none of the alleged errors had a substantial and injurious effect on the jury's verdict. We discuss each issue and the facts pertinent thereto under separate headings.
