July 16, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER - denying #2 Motion to Stay. It is lamentable that counsel's procedural gamesmanship may have prevented a substantive review of Mr. Purkey's Ford claim as it should have been presented. But a stay of execution is an extraordinary remedy, and the Court must consider the equities before granting relief. Despite the risk of irreparable harm to Mr. Purkey, the balance of equities do not weigh in his favor. (See Order.) Signed by Judge James R. Sweeney II on 7/16/2020. (RSF) (Main Document 14 replaced on 7/17/2020) (RSF).
July 16, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 13 Order Directing Stay of Execution - The Court has considered the relevant factors and finds that a short stay of execution is warranted while the Court considers Mr. Purkey's petition and motion for preliminary injunction.

The Court does not anticipate this stay being in place for more than 1 hour without a further order. Signed by Judge James R.
