US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 5 F.3d 531 (8th Cir. 1993) Submitted: August 19, 1993. Filed: August 26, 1993

Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Michael Dale Bowden was found guilty by an Arkansas state court jury on a charge of capital murder arising out of the shooting deaths of Bowden's wife and her ex-husband. Having exhausted his state court remedies, Bowden filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the district court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The district court1  approved and adopted the magistrate judge's2  proposed findings and recommendations and entered judgment denying relief and dismissing the petition.

Having reviewed the record, we affirm the judgment based upon the magistrate judge's report, as approved and adopted by the district court. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.
