Kellogg, as Next Friend to Lonchar v. Zant, Warden.

Super. Ct. Ga., Butts County. Motion of petitioner to consolidate this case with No. 89-7838, Hamilton, as Natural Mother and Next Friend to Smith v. Texas, denied. Certiorari denied.

dissenting.

Adhering to my view 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 , 231 (1976), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentence in this case.
