JAMES EDWARD O’NEAL, Petitioner-Appellant, versus GARY L. JOHNSON, Director, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 95-10942

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

September 9, 1996

Summary Calendar; Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, USDC No. 4:95-CV-005-Y; Before GARWOOD, JOLLY and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Texas prisoner James Edward O‘Neal, # 611087, appeals the district court‘s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. O‘Neal contends that his due process rights were violated when the trial court denied his motion to withdraw his guilty plea or appeal without holding a hearing, that counsel was ineffective for failing to secure O‘Neal‘s presence at such a hearing, and that the revocation of O‘Neal‘s parole violated principles of double jeopardy. For the first time on appeal, O‘Neal argues that the revocation of his parole violated the Ex Post Facto clause. We reject O‘Neal‘s ex post facto argument as lacking factual basis. Having reviewed the record and O‘Neal‘s brief, we AFFIRM the district court‘s denial of the petition for essentially the reasons adopted and set forth by the district court. .

AFFIRMED.
