GIBSON v. COLLINS

No. 90-2413.

947 F.2d 780 (1991)

Larry GIBSON, Petitioner-Appellant, v. James A. COLLINS, Director, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

November 27, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

M. Virginia Stockbridge, Baker & Botts, Houston, Tex. (court appointed), for petitioner-appellant.

Elizabeth Elleson, Christine D. White, Asst. Attys. Gen., Jim Mattox, Atty. Gen., Austin, Tex., for respondent-appellee.

Before CLARK, Chief Judge, REAVLEY and JONES, Circuit Judges.

REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:

Larry Gibson appeals the district court's dismissal of his application for a writ of habeas corpus claiming that his conviction for burglary of a habitation was a denial of due process because it was not supported by sufficient evidence. Because a rational juror could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that Gibson committed the burglary, we affirm the district court's order denying habeas relief.
