Annotate this CaseAfter 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. This cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
Charles A. Fields, proceeding pro se, appeals from the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition, and the denial of his motion for a certificate of probable cause. We have carefully reviewed the record in this case, and we GRANT the certificate of probable cause and AFFIRM the denial of Mr. Fields' habeas petition for substantially the reasons set forth in the district court's order. See also United States v. Richards, 5 F.3d 1369, 1371 (10th Cir. 1993). The mandate shall issue forthwith.
This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3
