May 9, 1994
    No. A-926.
    Gacy v. Page, Warden.
   Application for stay of execution of sentence of death, presented to Justice Stevens, and by him referred to the Court, denied.

Justice Blackmun,

dissenting.

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

Certiorari Denied
