The ruling clears the way for Oklahoma to put the 39-year-old Hooper to death at 6 p.m. Tuesday for the December 1993 shooting deaths of his former girlfriend and her two young children.
Defense attorney Jim Drummond said he's “obviously disappointed” with the ruling and that there are no more appeals available.
Hooper was convicted and sentenced to death for the killings of 23-year-old Cynthia Lynn Jarman, and her two children, 5-year-old Tonya and 3-year-old Timmy.
He would become the fourth inmate put to death in Oklahoma this year.
