On Application for Certificate of Probable Cause and Motion for Stay of Execution
Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, KING and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges. KING, Circuit Judge:
Joe Angel Cordova, now scheduled to be executed on January 22, 1992, brings his first federal petition for a writ of habeas corpus to this court, urging fifteen separate grounds of constitutional error. We agree with the district court that some of his claims are procedurally barred, and the remaining ones are without arguable merit, and, accordingly, deny the certificate of probable cause and motion for stay of execution.
