Lead Opinion

Application for stay of execution of sentence of death, presented to Justice Blackmun, and by him referred to the Court, denied.

Justice Blackmun would grant the application. The order heretofore entered by Justice Blackmun is vacated.

Dissent

Justice Brennan and Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to our views that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 227, 231 (1976), we would grant the application for stay of execution in order to give the applicant time to file a petition for writ of certiorari and would grant the petition and vacate the death sentence in this case.
