Opinion
ORDER
The United States Supreme Court reversed this court’s holding that the trial judge violated the Eighth Amendment by refusing to give a mitigating circumstance instruction requested by Lashley during the penalty phase of Lashley’s trial. Delo v. Lashley, — U.S.-,-, 113 S.Ct. 1222, 1226, 122 L.Ed.2d 620 (1993). The Supreme Court’s opinion, coupled with this court’s earlier opinion rejecting Lashley’s other .claims, 957 F.2d 1495 (8th Cir.1992), disposes of the case. We thus affirm the district court’s denial of Lashley’s application for a writ of habeas corpus. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
