MEMORANDUM**

Tony Protopappas, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We affirm for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's report and recommendation filed October 16, 1995 and adopted by the district court in its order filed January 10, 1996.

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4. Because we affirm the dismissal of the motion under the former version of 28 U.S.C. § 2254, we do not consider whether the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 applies to this appeal

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3
