Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 972 F.2d 353 (8th Cir. 1992) Submitted: August 3, 1992. Filed: August 24, 1992

Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Eric Preston Clark appeals the district court's denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. The district court adopted the magistrate judge's report rejecting the grounds for relief asserted in Clark's petition. In sum, the magistrate judge held that Clark's claims were either procedurally barred, fully and fairly litigated in state court, or without merit. Having reviewed the record, we affirm the district court substantially for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's report. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
