Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
We have carefully considered petitioner's eight claims for relief and, for the reasons stated succinctly and correctly in the "Order and Reasons" of the District Court, we AFFIRM its judgment dismissing the petition. We issue no separate opinion in the interest of permitting petitioner the maximum time within which to seek relief from the Supreme Court.
The application for stay of execution is DENIED. Judge Johnson would grant the stay because of the Supreme Court's grant of certiorrari in Lowenfield v. Phelps, 817 F.2d 285 (5th Cir.1987).
