Before DAVIS, BENAVIDES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for Steven Rayford Moore has moved

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
