Houston — The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to review the  case of a 
42-year-old man set to die next month for the slaying of a suburban  Dallas 
liquor store clerk.

The high court, without comment Tuesday,  rejected an appeal from Gustavo 
Garcia, who's scheduled for lethal injection  Feb. 16.

Garcia was 19 in December 1990 when 43-year-old Craig Turski  was fatally 
shot during a holdup in Plano. Authorities tied him to a second  slaying a 
month later, also in Plano.

In earlier unsuccessful appeals,  Garcia's attorneys contended his two 
written confessions improperly were  admitted into evidence at his trial, that 
his trial legal help was deficient  and that two prospective jurors 
improperly were excused.

Garcia was one  of seven inmates involved in at attempted escape from death 
row in  1998.
