Description
Petitioner Allen Bridgers, convicted of capital murder in Texas and sentenced to death, appeals the denial of federal habeas relief. Bridgers contends that the warnings he received prior to his custodial interrogation were inadequate to apprise him of his constitutional rights, and thus, the resulting confession was admitted at trial in violation of the Fifth Amendment. The district court granted a Certificate of Appealability ("COA") with respect to this claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). Additionally, Bridgers requests a COA with respect to his Fourth Amendment claim. We decide that Bridgers has not shown that the state courts decision that he was adequately advised of his Fifth Amendment rights is objectively unreasonable and affirm the district courts denial of federal habeas relief. Finding his Fourth Amendment claim barred, we deny the request for a COA.
