KARUNA SHINSHO, CNN ANCHOR: The man who admits committing the worst act of terrorism on U.S. soil will soon be moved to the death house at an Indiana federal prison. There, Monday, Timothy McVeigh is scheduled to become the 169th person to die as a result of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Susan Candiotti reports.</s>SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): After losing two appeals in as many days, McVeigh told his lawyers: Enough, it's over.</s>ROB NIGH, MCVEIGH'S LAWYER: He had prepared himself to die prior to the initial execution date of May 16, and he now again wants to make the final preparations necessary to be ready to die on Monday.</s>CANDIOTTI: McVeigh's final rejection came from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which, after reviewing his petition for seven hours, wrote: "McVeigh has utterly failed to demonstrate substantial grounds upon which relief might be granted." The Appeals Court upheld Wednesday's ruling by Judge Richard Matsch, who said the FBI records blunder did not matter in the long run and that the evidence against McVeigh and his own failure to claim innocence left him no valid grounds to appeal. McVeigh's lawyers admitted the odds were stacked against them because of the brutality of the bombing: the worst terrorist act on U.S. soil.</s>RICHARD BURR, MCVEIGH ATTORNEY: Every decision along the way in this case since just before trial has been driven by the magnitude of the crime.</s>CANDIOTTI: McVeigh's lawyers now head to Terre Haute to witness his death and dispose of his ashes. (on camera): For McVeigh, it has been a long legal battle that might have ended sooner had it not been for the FBI document disaster. It bought him more time to live. And now that time is drawing to an end. Susan Candiotti, CNN, Denver.
