Submitted:  March 29, 1996.Filed:  April 4, 1996.

Before BEAM, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
Robert Wood appeals the district court's1 denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition.   Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that no error of law or fact appears and that an opinion would lack precedential value.


2
Accordingly, we affirm.   See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.

 The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable David D. Noce, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri
