Before BOWMAN, FAGG, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Anthony Daniele appeals the district court's denial of his petition for writ of error
coram nobis, see 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel.
Daniele asserts his defense counsel should have sought compulsion of testimony from
Daniele's codefendant even though the codefendant claimed he would assert his Fifth
Amendment privilege if called. Having carefully reviewed the parties' briefs and the
record, we affirm for the reasons set out in the magistrate judge's thorough report and
recommendation as adopted by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
