Joseph Macastle Jackson, Petitioner-appellant, v. L.l. Young, Respondent-appellee, 64 F.3d 669 (10th Cir. 1995)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 64 F.3d 669 (10th Cir. 1995) Aug. 16, 1995

Before SEYMOUR, Chief Judge, McKAY and HENRY, Circuit Judges.


ORDER AND JUDGMENT1 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

This matter is before the court on appellant's application for a certificate of probable cause and request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. We issue a certificate of probable cause, grant appellant's request to proceed in forma pauperis, and proceed to the merits of appellant's appeal.2 

Mr. Jackson seeks habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 claiming that Oklahoma has unconstitutionally delayed granting him consideration for parole. We find his arguments to be unpersuasive, and affirm the denial of habeas corpus for substantially the reasons set forth in the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation and the district court's Order adopting same.

AFFIRMED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
