Ray Bell JOHNSON, Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
Dewey SOWDERS, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 91-5926.

United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

Feb. 13, 1992.

1

Before KEITH and BOYCE F. MARTIN, Jr. Circuit Judges, and BELL, District Judge.[*]

ORDER

2

Ray Bell Johnson, a pro se Kentucky prisoner, appeals the district court's order dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a).

3

Petitioner is serving a total sentence of 40 years on the following convictions: armed robbery, bond jumping, criminal possession of a forged instrument second degree (three counts), forgery second degree, possession of stolen mail matter, theft by unlawful taking over $100, escape second degree, for being a second degree persistent felony offender (three counts), and for being a first degree persistent felony offender. Johnson does not challenge his convictions, but alleges that he is being unlawfully confined because his parole eligibility date has been incorrectly calculated.

4

Because the issue raised by Johnson is a matter of state law, his claim is not cognizable in a federal habeas corpus proceeding. See Olsen v. McFaul, 843 F.2d 918, 933 (6th Cir.1988); Martin v. Solem, 801 F.2d 324, 331 (8th Cir.1986).

5

Accordingly, the district court's judgment is hereby affirmed pursuant to Rule 9(b)(3), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
