Charles Archer, Petitioner-appellant, v. Ed Evans, Warden, Respondent-appellee, 968 F.2d 19 (10th Cir. 1992)
Annotate this CaseBefore STEPHEN H. ANDERSON and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges, and CONWAY,* District Judge.**
ORDER AND JUDGMENT***
BALDOCK, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner-appellant Charles Archer, who is pro se, appeals from an order of the district court adopting the findings and recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner also seeks leave to appeal in forma pauperis and a certificate of probable cause.
On appeal, petitioner argues that the district court erred in denying habeas relief, because he maintains he showed cause for the procedural default and proved there had been a fundamental miscarriage of justice. After reviewing the district court's file and petitioner's brief on appeal, we affirm the district court for substantially the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's findings and recommendation adopted by the district court. See Coleman v. Thompson, 111 S. Ct. 2546, 2565-67 (1991); McCleskey v. Zant, 111 S. Ct. 1454, 1470 (1991).
The judgment of the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED. Petitioner's request for leave to appeal in forma pauperis and a certificate of probable cause are GRANTED.
