William S. Johnson, Louisiana prisoner no. 99104, is serving a life sentence for the 1978 murder of his mother. Johnson v. Cain, 215 F.3d 489 (5th Cir. 2000). He appeals a district court’s final decision foreclosing consideration of claims raised in his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 application in 1997 but not addressed by the district court at that time. We have already determined that the claims need not be considered now because Johnson did not contemporaneously attempt to appeal the court’s failure to consider them. In re: Johnson, No. 02-30895 (5th Cir. Dec. 5, 2002) (unpublished). Johnson does not show that our prior decision is clearly erroneous or would work a manifest injustice such that the “law of the case” doctrine does not apply. See Hopwood v. Texas, 236 F.3d 256, 272-73 (5th Cir. 2000). Nonetheless, we have considered Johnson’s unaddressed claims and find no merit in them.

The decision of the district court is

AFFIRMED.
