Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                              _____________

PER CURIAM.

       Terry L. Christianson appeals the district court's denial of his 28
U.S.C. § 2254 petition.     Initially, we reject Christianson's contention
that Nebraska's robbery statute is constitutionally ambiguous.        Having
rejected Christianson's constitutional claim, we conclude Christianson's
trial and appellate counsel were not ineffective for failing to challenge
the statute's constitutionality.   Accordingly, we affirm.   See 8th Cir. R.
47B.

              Attest:

                   CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
