1Opinion of the Court

KING, Chief Judge:

Samuel Johnson appeals the district court’s denial of his habeas corpus application. Johnson challenges his continued confinemeiit on several grounds, but his chief complaint is that the state failed to disclose exculpatory material and suborned perjury in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963), and Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150, 92 S.Ct. 763, 31 L.Ed.2d 104 (1972). Because we conclude the district court correctly denied relief on this and all of Johnson’s other assignments of error, we affirm.
