Unpublished Dispositionmichael Wayne Long, Petitioner-appellant, v. George D. Hancock, Respondent-appellee, 909 F.2d 1483 (6th Cir. 1990)
Annotate this CaseBefore KEITH, KRUPANSKY and SUHRHEINRICH, Circuit Judges.
ORDER
This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the record and the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).
Michael Wayne Long, a Kentucky prisoner, filed a habeas corpus action under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in which he questioned the constitutionality of 1979 convictions for murder, rape, burglary, and robbery. The district court sua sponte dismissed the petition as successive under Rule 9(b), Rules Governing Sec. 2254 Cases. This appeal followed. The parties have briefed the issues, Long proceeding without counsel.
Upon consideration, we find the district court correctly dismissed the case as another of Long's repetitive, meritless challenges to his confinement.
Accordingly, the district court's judgment is affirmed. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
