Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 978 F.2d 1263 (8th Cir. 1992) Submitted: September 7, 1992. Filed: November 6, 1992

Before JOHN R. GIBSON, BEAM, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Alex Herbage, presently incarcerated at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Rochester, Minnesota, appeals the district court's1  denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking an immediate deportation hearing by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

After careful review of the record, we conclude the district court properly held that it lacked jurisdiction to decide Herbage's petition. See Campillo v. Sullivan, 853 F.2d 593, 597 (8th Cir. 1988), cert. denied, 490 U.S. 1082 (1989); Gonzalez v. INS, 867 F.2d 1108, 1109 (8th Cir. 1989). We decline to address the other issues Herbage raised on appeal because he failed to raise these issues before the district court. Burris v. First Financial Corp., 928 F.2d 797, 803 (8th Cir.) (failure to raise issue before district court bars attempt to raise issue for first time on appeal), cert. denied, 112 S. Ct. 195 (1991). In light of our disposition of the appeal, we deny Herbage's motion for the appointment of counsel and for an en banc hearing.

Accordingly, we affirm.
