Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

Case: 17-30411 Document: 00514681360 Page: 2 Date Filed: 10/15/2018
No. 17-30411
for public intimidation.
Poupart claims he was interrogated in violation of Miranda v. Arizona,
384 U.S. 436 (1966), asserting that interrogation persisted after he had in-
voked his right to counsel and had declined to answer questions. The federal
district court denied habeas relief, finding that the decisions of the state courts
were not unreasonable under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty
Act of 1996 and that any error was harmless.
AFFIRMED.
