Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
BOWMAN, Circuit Judge.
Sterling Horne, a state prisoner serving time on an armed robbery conviction, appeals from the District Court’s 1 denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. Horne argues (1) he was denied effective assistance of appellate counsel on direct appeal because his counsel failed to claim that Horne was convicted by a jury from which blacks were excluded in violation of the Constitution; and (2) a portion of the prosecutor’s closing argument constituted an impermissible, indirect reference to Horne’s failure to testify and required a mistrial. We affirm.
