DEATH-PENALTY CASE

ORDER REQUESTING

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

[Docket No. 12]

In connection with its pending determination as to whether it should grant relief to

Plaintiff, the Court is interested in Defendants’ view as to whether either of the following would

be feasible:

(1) Proceeding with the execution using only sodium thiopental; or

(2) Utilizing an independent means—including but not limited to a medical device or the

presence of a qualified individual approved by the Court—to insure that Plaintiff in fact is

unconscious before pancuronium bromide and potassium chloride are injected.

Defendants shall respond to this inquiry in writing by 5:00 p.m. today; such response

shall not be deemed a waiver of Defendants’ position that Plaintiff is not entitled to injunctive

relief. Plaintiff may respond to Defendants’ submission not later than 12:00 noon tomorrow.
