Justice Rehnquist took no part in the consideration or decision of this application and petition.

dissenting.

Adhering to our views that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153 , 227, 231 (1976), we would grant the application for stay, grant certiorari, and vacate the death sentence in this case.
