ORDER
HOWARD, Chief Judge.
On July 9, 1990 this cause came before the Court for a hearing on the merits of Wallace Norrell Thomas’ second petition for writ of habeas corpus, filed in this Court on July 5, 1990, and on Thomas’ motion for a stay of his execution, scheduled for July 13, 1990. At the close of the hearing, the Court orally dismissed the petition, and denied the motion for a stay of execution. Thomas thereupon made an oral motion for a certificate of probable cause to appeal, which the Court denied. The Court now enters this written opinion in accordance with its oral ruling.
