Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit February 27, 1990, 89-4002 (Roger K. Coleman v. Charles Thompson, Warden)

BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge:

Roger Keith Coleman, a Virginia prisoner sentenced to death, appeals the district court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The district court concluded that Coleman’s claims were procedurally defaulted. We affirm.

Coleman was convicted on March 18, 1982, in the Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Virginia, of rape and capital murder.
