1Opinion of the Court

EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judge:

Maurice Andrews was convicted by a jury of capital murder and sentenced to death. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on direct appeal. After his petition for habeas corpus relief in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals was denied, Andrews filed a petition for habeas corpus relief in federal district court, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988). The district court denied the petition. Andrews now appeals the district court’s decision, presenting over twenty claims of error. We affirm.
