MEMORANDUM**

3
Appellant Wasko did not raise his current claims in his previous habeas corpus petition.   Because he has not shown cause to excuse his failure to have raised his claims earlier nor prejudice therefrom, see  McCleskey v. Zant, --- U.S. ----, 113 L.Ed.2d 517, 545 (1991), the district court did not err in dismissing his petition as an abuse of the writ.

4
AFFIRMED.

 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.   Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34-4

**
 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3
