November 19, 1997
Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Terry Melvin Jackson, Louisiana prisoner #120416, appeals
from the district court’s judgment dismissing his habeas corpus
petition as procedurally barred. Jackson argues that the
district court’s dismissal was in error because he had shown
cause for his procedural default in the state court and resulting
prejudice. We have reviewed the record and the briefs filed by
the parties, and we AFFIRM the district court’s dismissal for
essentially the same reason adopted by the district court. See
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
