Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Mississippi
(3:95-cv-819-BN)
______________________________________________
October 31, 1996

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Charles Edward Wilson, a Mississippi prisoner, # 44482-53975,

appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254

habeas corpus petition as an abuse of the writ. Wilson has

Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under
the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
petition. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir.

1993) (issues not briefed on appeal are deemed abandoned).

Wilson’s assertion that he was “actually innocent” of the crimes

for which he was convicted is not supported by “new reliable

AFFIRMED.
