Andrew Lee Jones v. Robert H. Butler, Sr., Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary, Angola, Louisiana
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided February 21, 1989No. 88-3214PublishedCited by 111 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:
The State of Louisiana having sentenced him to death by electrocution, a state prisoner seeks habeas corpus on 18 grounds. We grant a certificate of probable cause to appeal, but, after reviewing the 70-page memorandum filed in the district court, the trial record, and the opinion of the district court, and after hearing oral argument, we find no violation of Jones’s constitutional rights, and therefore affirm the district court’s judgment denying him a writ of habeas corpus and vacate our order staying execution.
