Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:94-CV-147-C
- - - - - - - - - -
December 4, 1995
Before WIENER, PARKER, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Janice Bates Holmes appeals the district court's denial of
her petition for habeas corpus. Holmes argues that her trial
counsel was ineffective for failing to conduct a voir dire
sufficient to uncover juror bias. She also argues that her
appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise the issue
on direct appeal.
*
Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions
that have no precedential value and merely decide particular
cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes
needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal
profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published.
No. 95-10546
-2-
We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons given by the magistrate judge and adopted by the district
court.
AFFIRMED.
