IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 00-10870
CURTIS MOORE,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
JANIE COCKRELL, DIRECTOR,
TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE,
INSTITUTIONAL DIVISION,
Respondent-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
(4:99-CV-960)
October 10, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Curtis Moore seeks a certificate of appealability from the
denial by the district court of federal habeas relief from his
state court conviction for capital murder and his sentence to
death. Judge McBryde denied Moore relief in a detailed opinion and
order filed July 13, 2000, and his request for certificate of
appealability on August 14, 2000.
*
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
We deny the request for a certificate of appealability and
affirm the judgment below for essentially the same reasons stated
in Judge McBryde’s carefully written order denying relief.
