United States Eleventh Circuit

In civil rights action by death row inmate challenging Alabama's method of execution, denial of temporary stay of execution and dismissal of complaint are affirmed as the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action due to plaintiff's unnecessary delay, especially given the strong presumption against the grant of equitable relief.
