NETHERLAND v. TUGGLE, 517 U.S. 1301 (1996)
United States Supreme Court
NETHERLAND v. TUGGLE(1996)
No. A-910
Decided: May 15, 1996
CHIEF JUSTICE REHNQUIST, Circuit Justice.Applicant has filed an application to vacate an order of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit staying the execution of respondent Tuggle. It is my understanding, however, that no such stay of execution is in effect. While Tuggle asked the Court of Appeals both to stay his execution, and to stay issuance of its mandate in his case, see Tuggle v. Netherland, 79 F.3d 1386 (1996), the Court of Appeals' order only stayed the issuance of its mandate for a period of 30 days. Hence there is no stay of execution for me to vacate.
