PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
Joseph John Cannon seeks permission for further collateral review of his conviction for capital murder and the resulting death sentence. Because the district court effectively granted Cannon a certificate of probable cause, he does not need our permission to appeal. We proceed to the merits, and with benefit of full briefing in the case, we affirm the denial of the writ and vacate the stay of execution.
