- Submitted on briefs: August 1, 1991Justice Terry 

### N. Trieweiler delivered the opinion of the Court. Howard L. Bashor appeals the order of the District Court of the Ninth Judicial District for Toole County, denying Bashor's petition for postconviction relief. We affirm the District Court. The sole issue presented for appeal is whether the District Court erred in denying appellant's petition. Appellant 

### was convicted of deliberate homicide and sentenced to the Montana State Prison on September 13, 1978, for a term of 30 years with 10 years suspended. He appealed his conviction in Statev. Bashor (l98O), 188 Monk. 397, 614 P.2d 470, and this Court affirmed the conviction. Appellant filed a petition for postconviction relief 

### in this Court on July 20, 1981. The petition was denied. Appellant then filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus with the United States DistrictCourt and that petitionwas denied. 

### See, Bashorv. Risley

(D.Mont 19821, 539 F.Supp. 259. Bashor appealed, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the District Court. See, Bashor 

### v. Risley (19841, 730 F.2d 1228, cert. denied, 469 U.S. 838. Appellant 

### filed a petition for habeas corpus 

### in this Court on June 24, 1985. We denied the petition on the ground that the claims could have been raised 

### in the original petition for postconviction relief. Appellant proceeded to then file civil actions against the Board of Pardons and Parole in the United 

### States District 

### Court. These actions were dismissed.Appellant then filed 

### a petition for postconviction 

### relief in District Court on October 31, 1990, raising the same issueshe had raised in his petition for state habeas corpus relief. A supplemental petition followed claiming that his good time allowancehad not been correctly calculated. On January 18, 1991, the District Court denied the claims in the petition for postconviction relief for the reason that they had already been considered and dismissed by this Court. The supplementalpetition
was denied on the grounds that the court did not have jurisdiction over claims regarding good time calculations. This appeal followed. Appellant does not appeal the decision on the supplementalpetition. As noted by the District Court, the matters raised by the appellant in his petition for postconviction relief have been previously considered or are procedurally barred. Appellant's first two claims, alleging illegal arrest and illegal 

### search and seizure, could have been raised on appellant's 1980 appeal to this 

### Court, but were not. Under the provisions of 

### 5 46-21-105, MCA, they were, therefore,waived. State v. Gorder (1990), 243 Mont. 333, 792 P.2d 370. Appellant 

### is procedurally barred from raising those claims 

### in a petition for postconviction relief. Appellant's third claim, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel,was previously considered and denied in his original 1981 petition for postconviction relief. We conclude that the lower

### court properly denied appellant's petition and hereby affirm the District Court. Pursuant to Section I,

### Paragraph 3(c), Montana Supreme Court 1988 

### InternalOperating Rules, this decision shall not be cited as precedent and shall be published by its filing as

### a public document with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and by 

### a report of its result to Montana Law Week, State Reporter, and West Publishing Company.
