United States Fifth Circuit

In a capital murder and death sentence case, defendant's application for a certificate of appealability and his motion for a stay of execution are denied where defendant did not demonstrate that jurists of reason could disagree with the district court's treatment of his competency claim as a successive petition or that jurists could conclude the issue presented was adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.
