Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Joel R. Evans, a prisoner in state custody, appeals from the district court's1 order denying his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 petition for habeas corpus. After careful review of the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that the issues Evans raises on appeal are without merit and that an opinion on these issues would have no precedential value. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
Accordingly, we affirm.
The HONORABLE RICHARD G. KOPF, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska, adopting the report and recommendation of the HONORABLE DAVID L. PIESTER, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Nebraska
