Before BEAM, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges. ___________

PER CURIAM.

Anthony Finerson appeals the district court's1 denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. We grant Finerson's "Motion[s] for Leave of Court to Petition for Judicial Notice." Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude that no error of law or fact appears and that an opinion would lack precedential value.

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

1 The Honorable George F. Gunn, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable Lewis M. Blanton, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. A true copy.

Attest:

CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
