Before BRORBY and EBEL, Circuit Judges, and SAM,^**  District Judge.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT¹ 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously to grant the parties' request for a decision on the briefs without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(f) and 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Petitioner appeals the district court's dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254. He argues that the district court erred in determining his 1980 guilty pleas were entered knowingly and voluntarily.

Upon examination of the briefs and record on appeal, we conclude the district court correctly determined the pleas were entered knowingly and voluntarily. Accordingly, we affirm for substantially the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's recommendation filed December 1, 1992, which was adopted by the district court on May 20, 1993.

The judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado is AFFIRMED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
