ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before McKAY, SEYMOUR, and EBEL, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs, 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. Therefore, the case is ordered submitted without 

oral argument. 

Notwithstanding appellant's efforts to broaden the scope of 

his claims on appeal, we are bound to review his claims as they 

were presented to the trial court. The record reveals that 

plaintiff sought habeas corpus relief from what he alleged to be 

an illegal conviction and confinement. The district court 

carefully considered his petition and ultimately dismissed it as a 

successive petition pursuant to Rule 9 of the Rules Governing 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not 

be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except 

for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, 

res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
