Ricky Lane Thomas, Petitioner-appellant, v. Tom L. Wooten, Warden and Classification Committee,respondent-appellee, 62 F.3d 1429 (10th Cir. 1995)

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.

Pro se petitioner Ricky Lane Thomas, an inmate at the Florence, Colorado Federal Correctional Facility, appeals the district court's denial of his habeas corpus petition. Petitioner is currently serving a fifty-seven-month sentence imposed after he pleaded guilty to a charge of bank robbery, 18 U.S.C. 2113(a). In his habeas petition, he asserted that the Bureau of Prisons improperly applied the "public safety factor," resulting in a "greatest security offense" classification. He further argued that the "public safety factor" should be waived so that he could be placed in a minimum security (camp) facility, as he asserts the sentencing court recommended. See I R. tab 22(a).

We cannot add significantly to the analysis in the magistrate judge's recommendation of August 19, 1994, which was adopted by the district court. We therefore AFFIRM for substantially the reasons stated therein.

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
