PER CURIAM:
Fred Singleton appeals from the district court's order denying his petition for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Our review of the record and consideration of the briefs and oral argument demonstrates that the district court's dismissal of appellant's petition because it contained unexhausted claims was entirely appropriate. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Singleton v. McKellar, C/A No. 3:87-2466-155 (D.S.C. Sept. 23, 1988).
AFFIRMED.
