JANICE BATES HOLMES,

Petitioner-Appellant,

versus

WAYNE SCOTT, DIRECTOR, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, INSTITUTIONAL DIVISION,

Respondent-Appellee.

- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 5:94-CV-147-C - - - - - - - - - - December 4, 1995 Before WIENER, PARKER, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Janice Bates Holmes appeals the district court's denial of

her petition for habeas corpus. Holmes argues that her trial

counsel was ineffective for failing to conduct a voir dire

sufficient to uncover juror bias. She also argues that her

appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise the issue

on direct appeal.

* Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions that have no precedential value and merely decide particular cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published. No. 95-10546 -2-

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons given by the magistrate judge and adopted by the district

court.

AFFIRMED.
