Before MURPHY, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Edwin Arthur Ehlers, II appeals the district court’s1 denial of his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 petition challenging his conviction by court-martial. Following de novo
review, see Hill v. Morrison, 

, 1091 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude that
the district court properly denied the petition, as the military courts gave fair
consideration to Ehlers’s claims, see Burns v. Wilson, 

, 144 (1953)
(limited function of civilian courts is to determine whether military gave fair
consideration to petitioner’s claims); and Ehlers did not demonstrate cause and
prejudice to excuse his failure to raise his remaining claims in the military courts, see
Lips v. Commandant, U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, 

, 812 (10th Cir. 1993)
(federal courts will not review claims prisoner failed to raise in military court), or
actual innocence, see McQuiggin v. Perkins, 

, 1928 (2013) (actual
innocence serves as gateway to habeas review; petitioner must show that, in light of
new evidence, no reasonable juror would have voted to find him guilty beyond
reasonable doubt). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________
