U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Smith and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. Lee's trial counsel's use of peremptory strikes
based on race in violation of Georgia v. McCollum, 505 U.S. 42 (1992)
did not deprive him of effective assistance of counsel; Lee's
constitutional challenges to his sentence were rejected in his direct appeal
and cannot be relitigated by way of a petition for postconviction relief
under Section 2255; other challenges to the death sentence were outside
the scope of the certificate of appealability.
