ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

No. 90-5121 

(D.C. No. 89-C-302-B) 

(N.D. Oklahoma) 

Before LOGAN, SEYMOUR, and TACHA, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materi ally 

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. 

Gloria Denise Curls filed a petition for writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in the district court. The 

district court dismissed the petition for failure to exhaust state 

remedies. Petitioner apparently never filed any appeal of her 

state court conviction, nor made any application for post-

* 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.

conviction relief in state court. Yet she attempted to present 

twelve issues in her federal court habeas petition challenging her 

state court conviction and sentence. The district court properly 

dismissed the petition for failure to exhaust state court 

remedies. She must present her claims first to the courts in the 

state of Oklahoma where she was convicted. See Rose v. Lundy, 455 

U.S. 509 (1982); Naranjo v. Ricketts, 696 F.2d 83 (10th Cir. 

1982). 

AFFIRMED. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
