No. 01-2494
THOMAS J. LYNES,
Petitioner, Appellant,
v.
TIMOTHY HALL,
Respondent, Appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Rya W. Zobel, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Boudin, Chief Judge,
Selya and Lipez, Circuit Judges.
Thomas J. Lynes on brief pro se.
Thomas F. Reilly, Attorney General and Linda A. Wagner,
Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Bureau, on brief for appellee.
October 22, 2002
Per Curiam. Pro se petitioner Thomas Lynes appeals
a district court order that dismissed his 28 U.S.C. § 2254petition. Having thoroughly reviewed the record and the
parties' briefs on appeal, we agree that the Massachusetts
Appeals Court's decision was neither "contrary to" nor an
"unreasonable application" of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238(1969), and its progeny. Accordingly, the judgment of the
district court is affirmed. See Local Rule 27(c).
