MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

YOUNG, District Judge.

This matter is before the Court on the petition of Lewis H. Dickerson ("Dickerson") for habeas corpus. Dickerson asserts that Massachusetts denies equal protection to persons convicted of first degree murder by permitting a single justice to determine whether appellate review of their post-conviction claims is warranted, whereas others receive full bench review as of right.
