U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided June 17, 1989 · Clark, Williams, Davis

Leo Edwards, Jr. v. Lee Roy Black, Commissioner Mississippi Department of Corrections

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Edwards seeks in this successive writ petition a certificate of probable cause and stay of execution. For the reasons stated in the district court’s opinion of June 16, 1989, we are persuaded that Edwards has not demonstrated a “substantial showing of the denial of a federal right.” Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893, 103 S.Ct. 3383, 3394, 77 L.Ed.2d 1090 (1983).

Accordingly, the application for certificate of probable cause and stay of execution is DENIED.
