Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jessie Hampton, # 417856, appeals the district court’s
dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition based upon
abuse of the writ. Hampton has not shown that the district court
abused its discretion in determining that he had shown no cause
or prejudice with regard to issues he had raised in his previous
petition or in regard to issues that he could have raised. See
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

justice.
