FLAUM, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
Based on the analysis advanced in my prior opinion in this case, Mahaffey v. Page, 151 F.3d 671, 675-680 (7th Cir.1998), I respectfully dissent. I remain of the view that the constitutional commands of Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986) have been met in this matter. Accordingly, I would deny the writ of habeas corpus and affirm the decision of the district court.
