ORDER AND JUDGMENT 

Before SEYMOUR, BARRETT, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this 

panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not 

ma t erially assist in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. 

R. App. P. 34(a}; 10th Cir. R. 34.l.8(c} and 27.1.2. The cause is 

therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. 

This matter is before the court on petitioner's application 

to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. Upon consideration 

the r eof, petitioner i s granted leave to proceed without prepayment 

of costs or fees. 

Petitioner, an inmate at the United States Disciplinary 

Barracks, Leavenworth, Kansas, filed a petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus in district court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. In 

Appellate Case: 87-1857 Document: 010110025192 Date Filed: 02/05/1988 Page: 1 
his petition, petitioner raised issues regarding the conduct of 

his court martial. 

The district court dismissed the petition without prejudice 

for failure to exhaust. On appeal, petitioner submitted materials 

indicating that, after the district court's order of dismissal, he 

presented all the issues in his habeas corpus petition to the 

United States Court of Military Appeals which denied relief. 

Petitioner has now exhausted his military appeals. 

The district court correctly dismissed this action based on 

the materials before it. However, since the dismissal was without 

prejudice, petitioner may now refile his petition including the 

materials demonstrating exhaustion. 

The judgment of the United States District Court for the 

District of Kansas is AFFIRMED. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
