MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER 1
BRIONES, District Judge.
Petitioner Tony Egbuna Ford filed this federal habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, in which he attacks his otherwise final state capital murder conviction and death sentence. After careful consideration, the Court concludes that Ford’s claims are either procedurally barred or without merit under the Antiter-rorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. Accordingly, the Court concludes that Ford is not entitled to federal habeas relief.
