Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 231 (1976), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.

    No. 90-7163.
    Herring v. United States.
   C. A. 11th Cir. Certiorari denied.

Justice White,

with whom Justice Blackmun joins,

dissenting.

The question presented in this case is the scope of federal jurisdiction under 18 U. S. C. §1001, which criminalizes the making of false statements “in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States.” Petitioner was convicted under that statute for making false statements on an application for Georgia state unemployment insurance benefits. The state program is certified by the United States Department of Labor to receive federal funds which are used only for administrative expenses, not for benefits. Receipt by the state program of these federal funds entitles the Department of Labor to oversee whether the state program’s administrative structure complies with federal requirements, but does not entitle it to monitor the program’s operation or award of benefits. The Department of Labor is also entitled to receive information about benefit claimants as part of the certification process, but it cannot withhold certification based on the state program’s payment of fraudulent claims. Petitioner’s false statements were discovered during an investigation of the state program by the Department of Labor.

The trial court rejected petitioner’s claim that the statute did not confer federal jurisdiction over his conduct. Petitioner then entered a conditional guilty plea and was sentenced to one year in prison, which was suspended, and two years’ probation. In affirming petitioner’s conviction, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit determined that its prior decision in United States v. Suggs, 755 F. 2d 1538 (1985), was controlling. See 916 F. 2d 1543 (1990). In Stoggs, the court had held that the use of federal funds by a state agency is generally sufficient to establish federal jurisdiction under § 1001. 755 F. 2d, at 1542. The court in the instant case recognized, however, that the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has reached a contrary result on similar facts. In United States v. Facchini, 874 F. 2d 638 (1989) (en banc), that court declared that jurisdiction under § 1001 does not exist “unless a direct relationship obtains between the false statement and an authorized function of a federal agency or department,” id., at 641, and that because the Department of Labor has no power to control the award of state unemployment benefits, this direct relationship is lacking, id., at 641-642.

Respondent United States also acknowledges the conflict between the Eleventh Circuit and the Ninth Circuit, but asserts that the issue does not merit review both because it arises infrequently and because the Justice Department has determined that it is inappropriate for the Department of Labor to investigate false statements on state applications for unemployment benefits, so that future prosecutions are unlikely. Although the Government maintains that the Eleventh Circuit was correct in determining that federal jurisdiction exists, the asserted position of the Justice Department suggests otherwise. If the Eleventh Circuit’s view is indeed erroneous, then petitioner has been convicted for conduct which is not a federal crime, and for which he would not have been convicted had his prosecution arisen in the Ninth Circuit. I would grant certiorari to resolve the conflict.

    Fernandez v. United States.
   C. A. 3d Cir. Certiorari denied.

Justice White,

with whom Justice Blackmun and Justice O’Connor join,

dissenting.

This case presents the question whether drug conspiracy convictions must be vacated on double jeopardy grounds in light of an additional conviction for engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. I would grant certiorari to resolve the confusion that this question has caused among the Courts of Appeals.

Petitioner Carlos Fernandez was convicted on one count of conspiring to distribute and possess cocaine, 21 U. S. C. § 841(a)(1); one count of conspiring to import cocaine, § 952(a); one count of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise (CCE), § 848; and five counts of using a telephone to facilitate a drug offense, § 843(b). On appeal, Fernandez argued that the District Court should have vacated his conspiracy convictions to prevent cumulative punishment since these were predicate offenses for his continuing criminal enterprise conviction. The Court of Appeals rejected Fernandez’ claim and affirmed. 916 F. 2d 125 (CA3 1990). As the court acknowledged, its holding is inconsistent with the decisions of other Courts of Appeals. Id., at 128-129. The majority to have considered the issue require the vacation of a drug conspiracy conviction when it is a predicate to a CCE conviction. See, e. g., United States v. Rivera, 900 F. 2d 1462, 1478 (CA10 1990); United States v. Hernandez-Escarsega, 886 F. 2d 1560, 1582 (CA9 1989); United States v. Possick, 849 F. 2d 332, 341 (CA8 1988). The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has adopted a somewhat different approach, “combining” the convictions without vacating those on the lesser counts and then imposing a single sentence. United States v. Aiello, 771 F. 2d 621, 632-635 (1985). Conversely, the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit not only permits predicate conspiracy convictions to stand, but goes beyond the Third Circuit in letting stand concurrent sentences. United States v. Bond, 847 F. 2d 1233, 1238-1239 (1988).

This evident disarray among the Courts of Appeals calls for a grant of certiorari.

dissenting.

Adhering to rñy view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 231 (1976), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.

Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 231 (1976), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.

    Spencer v. Georgia.
   Sup. Ct. Ga. Certiorari denied.

Justice Kennedy,

concurring.

A majority of the Court has voted to deny certiorari and, after initial reservations, I now concur in that judgment. This case appears to present important questions of federal law, and if I thought our decision in Teague v. Lane, 489 U. S. 288 (1989), would prevent us from reaching those issues on federal habeas review, I would have voted to grant certiorari. I have confidence that petitioner’s equal protection claim will not be barred in federal habeas corpus proceedings by Teague and its progeny, and that habeas review presents an appropriate and adequate forum for making a record and resolving petitioner’s contentions.

Petitioner James Lee Spencer, a black man, was convicted and sentenced to death by a jury made up of six whites and six blacks, after the prosecutor used nine peremptory challenges to exclude black venirepersons from the jury. Petitioner argued that racial bias had infected the jury deliberations at his trial, see McCleskey v. Kemp, 481 U. S. 279 (1987), submitting the affidavit of a juror in support of this claim. The juror alleged that other jurors uttered racial slurs concerning petitioner during deliberations. The affiant also purported to know that petitioner’s race was an important factor in the decision of certain jurors to convict petitioner and sentence him to death. Though the Georgia Supreme Court’s decision is somewhat ambiguous, its rejection of petitioner’s McCleskey claim rested at least in part on Ga. Code Ann. § 17-9-41 (1990), which provides that “affidavits of jurors may be taken to sustain but not to impeach their verdict.”

State rules of evidence have no direct application in federal habeas courts. Those courts, however, will have to determine whether the statute relied on by the Georgia Supreme Court to reject petitioner’s McCleskey claim represents an adequate state ground for its decision, barring federal court review. See James v. Kentucky, 466 U. S. 341 (1984); Henry v. Mississippi, 379 U. S. 443 (1965); Brown v. Western R. Co. of Alabama, 338 U. S. 294 (1949); Davis v. Wechsler, 263 U. S. 22 (1923); Meltzer, State Court Forfeitures of Federal Rights, 99 Harv. L. Rev. 1128, 1142-1145 (1986); see also Howlett v. Rose, 496 U. S. 356 (1990); Rock v. Arkansas, 483 U. S. 44 (1987); Green v. Georgia, 442 U. S. 95 (1979) (per curiam).

Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 231 (1976), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentence in this case.

    Gaskins v. McKellar, Warden, et al.
   C. A. 4th Cir. Certiorari denied. Justice Blackmun would grant certiorari, vacate the judgment, and remand the case for further consideration in light of Yates v. Evatt, ante, p. 391.

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

One of the questions presented in the certiorari petition is whether our per curiam decision in Cage v. Louisiana, 498 U. S. 39 (1990), announced a new rule. This question, however, would only be presented by the record if the instructions in this case contained the same flaw as the instructions in Cage. In Cage, the jury was instructed that a reasonable doubt “ ‘must be [a] doubt as would give rise to a grave uncertainty. . . .’” Id., at 40 (emphasis omitted). Because the instructions to the jury in this case did not contain this improper language, the question whether Cage announced a new rule is not actually presented here. For this reason, I think the Court has correctly decided not to grant certiorari to review that question.

Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 231 (1976), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentence in this case.
