* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 96-30717 Summary Calendar SOLOMON B. GUILLORY, Petitioner-Appellant, versus TERRY TERRELL, Warden, Allen Correctional Center, Respondent-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 95-CV-420-P February 28, 1997 Before GARWOOD, DeMOSS and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * Solomon B. Guillory, Louisiana state prisoner #120347, appeals from the district court§ 2254. He argues that the state trial courtÂ’s reasonable doubt instruction was unconstitutional, that the state trial courtÂ’s instruction to the jury on the law of principals was unconstitutional and deprived - him of his right to due process, that he was denied equal protection of the laws because other criminal defendants have previously been granted relief on the same errors which he has alleged, that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to object to the state trial courtÂ’s reasonable doubt instruction, and that he was denied due process by a cumulation of errors committed during the course of his trial. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Further, because Guillory failed to adequately brief his claim that he was denied due process by a cumulation of errors committed during the course of his trial, this issue is deemed abandoned on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins , 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir 1993). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

No. 96-30717 -
