                          _____________

Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge, FAGG, and MURPHY, Circuit
     Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

     Atwell Jr. Conner appeals the district court’s denial of
Conner’s third application for a writ of habeas corpus.        Conner
contends his ineffective assistance of counsel claims are not
abusive and, alternatively, the claims should be heard to avoid a
miscarriage of justice.     Having considered the briefs and record in
this case, we conclude Conner’s arguments lack merit.       Finding no
error of law in the district court’s analysis, we affirm for the
reasons stated in its order.         See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
