ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING AND SUGGESTION FOR REHEARING EN BANC
Jan. 26, 1993.
Appellant’s petition for rehearing by the panel is denied. Judge Lay would grant the petition and issue a stay of execution.
Appellant’s suggestion for rehearing en banc, supplemental suggestion and emergency motion for stay of execution of a sentence of death are also denied.
It is so ordered.
JOHN R. GIBSON, Circuit Judge,
joined by RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge, THEODORE McMILLIAN, Circuit Judge and DAVID R. HANSEN, Circuit Judge,
dissenting from denial of rehearing en banc and stay of execution.
I would grant rehearing en banc and stay the execution. The district court denied petitioner’s third petition for writ of habeas corpus on January 25, 1993, and issued a certificate of probable cause on January 26, 1993. Under Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893-95, 103 S.Ct. 3383, 3394-95, 77 L.Ed.2d 1090, when the certificate is issued the petitioner must be afforded an opportunity to address the merits. This court’s panel opinion was issued today, January 26. The Supreme Court opinion in Herrera v. Collins, — U.S. -, 113 S.Ct. 853, 122 L.Ed.2d 203, was issued on January 25, 1993. It may be that Herrera compels denial of Bolder’s petition, but I believe that with the issuance of the certificate and the brief time span involved, a fuller opportunity should be given to develop the issues on appeal. I would expedite rehearing en banc in order to do so.
