1Opinion of the Court
DIANA E. MURPHY, Circuit Judge.
Jeffrey Paul Sloan appeals from orders of the district court1 denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and his motion to alter or amend the judgment. After Sloan was charged with the murder of his parents and two brothers, he was tried for the murder of his younger brother. He was convicted and sentenced to death. On appeal Sloan reasserts most of the claims rejected by the district court. We affirm.
