___________ No. 95-1042 ___________ Denver Lemons, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Eastern District of Arkansas.

A. L. Lockhart, Director, * Arkansas Department of * [UNPUBLISHED] Correction, * * Appellee. *

___________ Submitted: February 29, 1996 Filed: March 4, 1996 ___________ Before BEAM, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate Denver Lemons appeals the district court's1 dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. Having carefully reviewed the record and Lemons's brief, 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.

The Honorable Jerry W. Cavaneau, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
