No. 87-1729.

843 F.2d 295 (1988)

Larry Doby SMITTIE, Appellant, v. A.L. LOCKHART, Director, Arkansas Dept. of Correction, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Decided March 31, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Marie-Bernarde Miller, Little Rock, Ark., for appellant.

William F. Knight, Asst. Atty. Gen., Little Rock, Ark., for appellee.

Before FAGG, WRIGHT and MAGILL, Circuit Judges.

EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judge.

Smittie's habeas corpus petition was dismissed for failing to exhaust Arkansas's post conviction remedies. We affirm.

Smittie was convicted of aggravated robbery and interference with a law enforcement officer. The Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed the convictions. Without pursuing state post-conviction remedies, Smittie filed a habeas petition that asserted grounds for relief never presented to a state court.
