Thomas Varner, Appellant, v. James D. Purkett, Appellee, 16 F.3d 1229 (8th Cir. 1994)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 16 F.3d 1229 (8th Cir. 1994) Submitted: February 14, 1994. Filed: February 23, 1994

Before FAGG, Circuit Judge, HEANEY, Senior Circuit Judge, and LOKEN, Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM.


Thomas Varner appeals the district court's denial of Varner's application for a writ of habeas corpus. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude Varner's ineffective assistance of counsel claim is without merit. We also conclude Varner's sufficiency of the evidence claim is procedurally defaulted. We thus affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
