MEEKS v. CABANA

No. 87-4786. Summary Calendar.

845 F.2d 1319 (1988)

Andrew MEEKS, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Donald A. CABANA, Superintendent, Mississippi Dept. of Corrections, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

May 31, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Andrew Meeks, pro se.

Donald G. Barlow, William S. Boyd, III, Asst. Attys. Gen., Jackson, Miss., for Cabana.

Before CLARK, Chief Judge, WILLIAMS and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

CLARK, Chief Judge:

Andrew Meeks appeals the dismissal of his habeas corpus petition. Meeks argues that he was denied the right to appeal his conviction and sentence. In his brief to this court, Meeks also urges for the first time that his failure to file a timely direct appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court was due to ineffective assistance of counsel. Because we find that Meeks waived his right to appeal, we affirm the dismissal of his petition.
