PER CURIAM.

1
Merlin Hagen, an Arkansas inmate, appeals from the district court's1 order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition.  We have carefully reviewed the record and the parties' submissions on appeal, and conclude that the district court's decision was clearly correct, and that an extended discussion is not warranted.  Hagen's pro se objection to no argument disposition of this case is denied.  The judgment is affirmed.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
