    Valentino MAGHEE, Appellant, v. John F. AULT, Warden, Appellee.
    No. 05-1596.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: Nov. 3, 2005.
    Decided: Nov. 9, 2005.
    Philip B. Mears, Mears Law Office, Iowa City, IA, for Appellant.
    Valentino Maghee, Anamosa, IA, pro se.
    H. Loraine Wallace, Attorney General’s Office, Des Moines, IA, for Appellee.
    Before ARNOLD, FAGG, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Valentino Maghee appeals the district court’s order dismissing Maghee’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition challenging for the second time discipline imposed in January 2001 for rule violations he committed while at an Iowa work-release center. Following careful review, we reject Maghee’s argument that he established cause for his procedural default for the reasons stated by the district court and by this court during Maghee’s earlier appeal, see Maghee v. Ault, 66 Fed. Appx. 81 (8th Cir. Apr.30, 2003) (unpublished per curiam); United States v. Bartsh, 69 F.3d 864, 866 (8th Cir.1995) (law-of-case doctrine). Accordingly, we affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
       The Honorable Ronald E. Longstaff, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa.
