C. A. 5th Cir. Application for stay of execution of sentence of death, presented to Justice Scalia, and by him referred to the Court, denied. Certiorari dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Justice Ginsburg would deny the petition for writ of certiorari. Justice Stevens would grant the application for stay of execution.

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty cannot be imposed fairly within the constraints of our Constitution, see my dissent in Callins v. Collins, 510 U. S. 1141 , 1143 (1994), I would grant the application for stay of execution and the petition for certiorari and would vacate the death sentence in this case.
