Before KING, Chief Judge, and DAVIS and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit
Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Omar Borges Husein (Husein), Texas prisoner #800510, appeals

the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition.    He

state court.    These claims are thus barred from collateral review

by Stone v. Powell, 428 U.S. 482, 494 (1976).    Accordingly, the

district court properly denied Husein federal habeas relief.
