ORDER

1
Appellant moves for appointment of counsel on appeal from the district court's order which denied his petition for a writ of habeas corpus (28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254) as a successive petition and as an abuse of the writ.  Upon consideration of the record and appellant's brief, the panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is unnecessary.  Rule 34(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

2
The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the petition.  Kuhlmann v. Wilson, 106 S.Ct. 2626, 2628, n.18 (1986).  Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.  Rule 9(b)(5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.  The motion for appointment of counsel is denied.
