Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit August 23, 2000, 99-50927 (Michael Patrick Moore v. Gary L. Johnson, Director, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division)

JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:

Michael Moore seeks a certificate of ap-pealability (“COA”) to allow him to present six claims to this court. Because Moore’s claims lack merit under the requisite standard, we deny a COA.

I.
