Earl S. BLACK, Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
Frank O. GUNTER, Executive Director, Colorado Department of
Corrections, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 92-1165.

United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.

May 18, 1993.

Before SEYMOUR, RONEY,* and MOORE, Circuit Judges.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT**

JOHN P. MOORE, Circuit Judge.

The only issue presented by this appeal is whether its outcome is dictated by Lustgarden v. Gunter, 966 F.2d 552 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 113 S.Ct. 624 (1992). Although, the two cases are factually and legally identical, petitioner attempts to distinguish them. We are unpersuaded by those attempts and consequently hold we are bound by Lustgarden. United States v. Cooper, 956 F.2d 960, 961 (10th Cir.1992) (one panel of this court cannot overrule the prior holding of another panel).

AFFIRMED.
