Before REAVLEY, BARKSDALE and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
David Chase Boyd, Texas state prisoner #588655, appeals the
district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for
habeas relief. Boyd contends that the district court erroneously
accorded the state court’s findings of fact a presumption of
correctness and improperly denied him an evidentiary hearing.
We have reviewed the record and Boyd’s brief and AFFIRM the
judgment of the district court for essentially the reasons stated
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
