ORDER

1
While on parole after twenty years of imprisonment for armed robbery, Ernest Cornes was convicted in Illinois state court of rape, deviate sexual assault, and intimidation.  After exhausting his possible state court remedies, Cornes filed a petition in federal district court under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 seeking habeas corpus relief.  His only claim was that he had been improperly denied parole eligibility as a result of his sentencing under Illinois law.  The district court denied the writ for failure to raise a federal constitutional issue.  We agree with the district court.  Cornes has failed to raise a constitutional challenge because the date on which he is entitled to come before the parole board is set pursuant to state law, and if his presently assigned date is an error, it is an error of state law, and as such not subject to federal review.  Estelle v. McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 67-68 (1991).  For the reasons stated by the district court in its order of September 6, 1995, the judgment is AFFIRMED.
