ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before LOGAN, MOORE, and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges. 

Petitioner Eugene Spruill was convicted of violation of the 

criminal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and was 

subsequently transferred to the United States Penitentiary, 

Leavenworth, Kansas (USPL), to serve his sentence. The district 

court denied his petition for habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 

28 u.s.c. § 2241. Spruill v. Thornburgh, No. 90-3517-R, 1991 WL 

49657 (unpubl.)(D. Kan. Mar. 13, 1991). Petitioner appeals 

* 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.

1 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253. 

Each of the claims petitioner raises on appeal have been 

considered and was found to be lacking in merit in Stevenson v. 

Thornburgh, __ F.2d __ , 1991 WL 164630 (10th Cir. Aug. 29, 

1991). We hold that none of the issues petitioner has raised 

before this court are "debatable among jurists of reason." 

Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 n.4 (1983). Petitioner's 

request for certificate of probable cause to appeal denial of his 

petition for writ of habeas corpus is DENIED. 

DISMISSED. The mandate shall issue forthwith. 

This appeal is

Per Curiam 

1 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. 

Case No. 90-3354, an interlocutory appeal, is dismissed for 

mootness because of the court's disposition of petitioner's appeal 

on the merits herein.
