Before GARWOOD, DeMOSS and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Solomon B. Guillory, Louisiana state prisoner #120347,
appeals from the district court’s denial of his petition for writ
of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He argues that
the state trial court’s reasonable doubt instruction was
unconstitutional, that the state trial court’s instruction to the
jury on the law of principals was unconstitutional and deprived

him of his right to due process, that he was denied equal
protection of the laws because other criminal defendants have
previously been granted relief on the same errors which he has
alleged, that he received ineffective assistance of counsel
because his attorney failed to object to the state trial court’s
reasonable doubt instruction, and that he was denied due process
by a cumulation of errors committed during the course of his
trial. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Further, because Guillory failed to adequately brief his claim
that he was denied due process by a cumulation of errors
committed during the course of his trial, this issue is deemed
abandoned on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25
(5th Cir 1993). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court
is AFFIRMED.
