Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
JOHNSON, Circuit Judge:
Howie Ray Robinson, three times convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of William Moon and three times granted a new trial, has asked this Court to order his release from the custody of the State of Texas on the ground that the State’s planned fourth prosecution of him is barred by the federal Constitution. The district court found that Robinson’s reprosecution would not offend the double jeopardy clause and that his other claims were not properly before it. This Court is of like mind with the district court and affirms its denial of relief.
