Lead Opinion

Sup. Ct.,Fla. Application for stay of execution *1049of sentence of death, presented to Justice Kennedy, and by him referred to the Court, denied. Certiorari dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Dissenting Opinion

Justice Blackmun,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty cannot be imposed fairly within the constraints of our Constitution, see my dissent in Callins v. Collins, 510 U. S. 1141, 1143 (1994), I would grant the application for stay of execution and the petition for certiorari and would vacate the death sentence in this case.
