CHARLES CLARK, Circuit Judge:

For the third time James T. Caver’s petition for writ of habeas corpus comes to this court. See Caver v. Alabama, 511 F.2d 124 (5th Cir. 1975) (Caver I); Caver v. Alabama, 537 F.2d 1333 (5th Cir. 1976) (Caver II); see also Caver v. State, 50 Ala.App. 181, 277 So.2d 926 (1973); White v. State, 48 Ala.App. 334, 264 So.2d 565 (1972). We affirm the district judge’s compliance with our mandate in Caver II, and finding that Caver is not otherwise entitled to relief, we affirm the denial of the writ.
