Steve BROWN, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Burl CAIN, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

July 21, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rebecca L. Hudsmith, Federal Public Defender (argued), Lafayette, LA, for Petitioner-Appellant.

John Michael Ruddick (argued), Monroe, LA, for Respondent-Appellee.

Before DAVIS, HALL and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

W. EUGENE DAVIS, Circuit Judge:

Petitioner, Steve Brown (Brown), appeals the district court's denial of habeas corpus relief on his claim that his trial counsel was ineffective because he failed to move to quash a grand jury indictment on the ground that the process of selecting the grand jury foreperson was racially biased. We are satisfied that counsel had a strong strategic reason for his action, and we affirm the district court's judgment.
