   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-4378
   District of North Dakota - Bismarck   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Arnold and Bye, Circuit Judges]
   Habeas Case - section 2254. Denial of habeas relief is affirmed.
   State court's resolution of Sixth Amendment claim of right to
   public trial when district court partially closed courtroom during
   testimony of minor witness was not objectively unreasonable,
   although record may not have been sufficient to support partial
   closure had the issue been presented on direct appeal. State court's
   ruling that ineffective assistance of counsel claim for failure
   to report alleged juror misconduct and failure to present mitigating
   evidence at sentencing failed because defendant failed to show prejudice
   was not objectively unreasonable. Judge Arnold dissents.
