Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Pro se petitioner Thomas Lynes appeals a district court order that dismissed his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. Having thoroughly reviewed the record and the parties' briefs on appeal, we agree that the Massachusetts Appeals Court's decision was neither "contrary to" nor an "unreasonable application" of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969), and its progeny. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See Local Rule 27(c).
