Attorneys for the U.S. Department of Justice have reportedly responded in a filing on Wednesday to a request from attorneys representing Dylann Roof, asking for the Supreme Court to review his case.

Roof, who was convicted of killing nine Black people in a racially-motivated attack at a church in South Carolina in 2015, was sentenced to death.

Earlier this year, Roof’s attorney’s asked the Supreme Court decide how to handle disputes regarding mental illness-related evidence between capital defendants and their attorneys, reported the Associated Press.

DOJ attorneys said in 39-page brief filed Wednesday that Roof “fails to identify any meaningful disagreement in the lower courts” regarding how his legal representation played out at trial, reported the Associated Press.

Roof is currently on death row at a maximum-security federal prison in Indiana.

Roof has limited legal options to avoid the death penalty.

If the direct appeal to the court is rejected, Roof could file a 2255 appeal, which asks that the trial court review the constitutionality of a conviction and sentence.
