Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, HANSEN, and BYE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Kenneth Fletcher appeals the district court’s1 dismissal with prejudice of his 28
U.S.C. § 2254 petition. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’
submissions on appeal, we conclude that his second prosecution did not violate double
jeopardy, collateral estoppel, or res judicata principles. We affirm for the reasons


      1
       The Honorable Stephen M. Reasoner, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Henry L. Jones, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District
of Arkansas.
stated in the magistrate judge’s thorough and well-reasoned report, adopted in its
entirety by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
