PER CURIAM:

1

William Anthony Wagner appeals from the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 for failure to exhaust state remedies. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm.

2

Because the district court's dismissal of Wagner's petition was without prejudice, Wagner is free to refile. If and when Wagner refiles he should clearly show that he previously presented all of his claims to the state court system. See Rose v. Lundy, 455 U.S. 509 (1982) (district court must dismiss entire petition if it contains exhausted and unexhausted claims). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
