United States Sixth Circuit
Middlebrooks v. Bell, 05-5904
District court's denial of defendant's petition for habeas relief from his 1989 conviction for capital murder of a fourteen-year-old is affirmed as the district court correctly determined that defendant's claims are either procedurally defaulted or do not provide a basis for vacating his death sentence under the strictures of AEDPA.
