ALBERT J. HENDERSON, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. In Sullivan v. Wainwright, 721 F.2d 316, (11th Cir.1983), this court considered a charge that the death penalty was applied in an arbitary and discriminatory manner in Florida. In Sullivan, the court found that the same Gross and Mauro study at issue here was insufficient evidence to sustain a claim of discriminatory intent. The United States Supreme Court affirmed in Sullivan v. Wainwright, — U.S. -, 104 S.Ct. 450, 78 L.Ed.2d 210 (1983). We are bound by that decision. I would therefore DENY the application for stay of execution.
