   MEMORANDUM

Wardens Steven J. Cambra and Thomas L. Carey appeal from the district court’s order granting California state prisoner Joey Bonner’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for writ of habeas corpus. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We reverse and remand.

Appellants contend that the district court improperly determined that Bonner’s 25-years-to-life sentence for a third-strike petty theft conviction was cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

In granting the writ in Bonner’s favor, the district court relied on this court’s decision in Andrade v. Att’y Gen. of California, 270 F.3d 743 (9th Cir.2001). However, the Supreme Court subsequently reversed Andrade and held that Andrade’s two 25-years-to-life sentences for a third-strike conviction for petty theft was not cruel and unusual punishment. Lockyer v. Andrade, 538 U.S. 63, 73-74, 123 S.Ct. 1166, 155 L.Ed.2d 144 (2003). In light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Andrade, we conclude that Bonner’s sentence is not contrary to clearly established federal law. See id; see also Ramirez v. Castro, 365 F.3d 755, 773-74 (9th Cir.2004).

Accordingly, we reverse the district court’s judgment and remand this case to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this order.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
