PER CURIAM 1
The judgment is affirmed substantially for the reasons recited by the
Magistrate-Judge in his Report and Recommendation dated November 17, 1994. We add that plaintiff has done nothing to call into question the conclusion--elsewhere reached by the New Hampshire Supreme Court--that the state's parole statute, see N.H.Rev.Stat. Ann. Sec. 651-A:6 (Supp.1994), and the accompanying Adult Parole Board Rules, fail to create a 14th Amendment liberty interest with regard to the denial of parole. See Bussiere v. Cunningham, 132 N.H. 747, 752-54 (1990); Baker v. Cunningham, 128 N.H. 374, 380-81 (1986); see generally Greenholtz v. Inmates of the Nebraska Penal and Correctional Complex, 442 U.S. 1, 7 (1979).
