Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Submitted: February 15, 2001 An Arkansas state jury sentenced Grover Henderson to life imprisonment, see Ark. Code Ann. § 5-4-103(a), for the first offense of which he has ever been convicted, the delivery of .238 grams of cocaine base. See Ark. Code Ann. § 5-64-401(a)(1)(i).

The Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed his conviction in a four-to-three decision. See Henderson v. Arkansas, 322 Ark. 402, 411- 12, 910 S.W.2d 656, 660-61 (1995).
