1Opinion of the Court
JOHN C. PORFILIO, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner Loyd Winford LaFevers appeals from the district court’s denial of his federal habeas petition challenging both his conviction and his death sentence. Despite having decisively denied relief, the district court granted a certificate of ap-pealability on all issues raised by the petitioner believing petitioner’s sentence of death required that action. On appeal, Mr. LaFevers raises a number of discrete issues which we have considered in full. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
