United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. James Neal Kinslow; A/k/a Jimmy, Defendant-appellant, 76 F.3d 389 (9th Cir. 1996)
Annotate this CaseBefore: ALARCON, HALL and BRUNETTI, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
James Neil Kinslow appeals pro se the denial of his fifth 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Kinslow was convicted of kidnapping and other crimes and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment. See United States v. Kinslow, 860 F.2d 963, 968 (9th Cir. 1988), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 829 (1989). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and we affirm.
Our de novo review indicates the district court correctly concluded that Kinslow's petition raised claims which had been presented and denied previously and that no manifest injustice would result from failure to entertain the claims.1 See Walter v. United States, 969 F.2d 814, 816 (9th Cir. 1992). The district court also did not err by denying Kinslow's request for reassignment of his motion to a different district judge. See United States v. Chischilly, 30 F.3d 1144, 1149 (9th Cir. 1994), cert. denied, 115 S. Ct. 946 (1995).
