Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
- 86 F.3d 1159 (8th Cir. 1996)
Submitted May 13, 1996. Filed May 22, 1996
Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Terry L. Christianson appeals the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. Initially, we reject Christianson's contention that Nebraska's robbery statute is constitutionally ambiguous. Having rejected Christianson's constitutional claim, we conclude Christianson's trial and appellate counsel were not ineffective for failing to challenge the statute's constitutionality. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
