Parker v. Allen
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
BIRCH, Circuit Judge:
Petitioner-appellant John Forrest Parker appeals the district court’s judgment dismissing his petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and denying him relief. Parker sought a vacation of his 1988 conviction for capital murder and his death sentence. After the district court denied Parker’s Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 motion for reconsideration, Parker appealed and the district court issued a certificate of appealability on five issues. We conclude that the district court correctly denied habeas relief and AFFIRM.
