Supreme Court of the United States February 21, 1995, No. 94-7254 (Barber v. Tennessee)

Sup. Ct. Tenn. Certio-rari denied.

Opinion of Justice Stevens, respecting the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari.

On occasion it is appropriate to restate the settled proposition that this Court’s denial of certiorari does not constitute a ruling on the merits. United States v. Carver, 260 U. S. 482, 490 (1923). See also Singleton v. Commissioner, 439 U. S.
