PER CURIAM.
Phillip McFarland appeals the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. The district court granted a certificate of appealability limited to the issue whether defense counsel should have requested a jury instruction regarding the common law right to bounty hunt. We affirm for the reasons explained by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
