O R D E R 
 
 
This 12th day of May, 2006, it appears to the Court that: 
 
 
On May 9, 2006, a United States District Court judge in the District of 
Delaware entered an order granting Jackson’s motion for a preliminary injunction 
enjoining the State defendants from carrying out Jackson’s execution.1 Jackson’s 
appeal to this Court of the Superior Court judge’s refusal to grant a stay of 
execution is now moot. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.2
