MANION, Circuit Judge.

Convicted murderer Terrance Mack seeks a writ of habeas corpus which the district court denied. While a member of the Black Gangster Disciples gang, Mack attempted to murder an adversary who had “disrespected” a fellow gang member. Mack shot the youth from a moving car. While wounding the youth, Mack also shot and killed an eleven-year-old boy standing nearby.
