1Opinion of the Court

WILSON, J.,

FOR THE COURT:

¶ 1. Jemarcus Curry, an inmate at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility (CMCF), was convicted of assaulting two correctional officers. Curry argues that his convictions should be reversed because the trial judge erroneously permitted the prosecutor to cross-examine him about his pri- or disciplinary violations and failed to give a limiting instruction. Curry also argues that he is entitled to a new trial because of improper arguments by the prosecutor and ineffective assistance of counsel. We find no reversible error and affirm.
