The ruling upholds a February decision by the State Court of Criminal Appeals, which had denied Ray's request citing no constitutional issue and a waiver of appeal with the guilty plea. Ray contends he was coerced by attorney Percy Foreman into pleading guilty to avoid the electric chair. Ray is jailed at Brushy Mountain State Prison in Petros.
