ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

No. 91-6223 

(D.C. No. CIV-91-119-R) 

(W.D. Oklahoma) 

Before LOGAN, MOORE and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges. 

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. 

Petitioner Melvin Leroy Mahler appeals the district court's 

denial of the petition for a writ of habeas corpus he filed 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner's contentions both in 

the district court and on appeal are set out in the district 

* 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.

court's memorandum opinion of May 17, 1991, which also traces the 

convoluted history of petitioner's litigation in the state court 

system. We can add little to the district court's analysis. It 

has correctly analyzed the contentions and we affirm for 

substantially the reasons stated in that opinion. 

AFFIRMED. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
