ORDER AND JUDGMENT1

1

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

2

Johnny L. Booth appeals the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2241.2 In his petition Booth challenged his 1989 conviction for a general court-martial, citing eight grounds for relief. In a Memorandum and Order filed on February 4, 1993, the district court addressed each of the issues raised by the petitioner and gave reasons why none of them merited habeas relief.

3

On appeal, Booth makes no attempt to dispute the district court's reasoning. Rather, he simply alleges that the district court was wrong and states that he "isn't going to waste the courts time repeating what's already been said and what's already in the record." Appellant's Opening Brief at 1/23.

4

We have carefully reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not err in denying Booth's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
