Heading: Did the Court err in its additional findings of facts submitted to the Mississippi Supreme Court in support of the Court's denial of the Defendant's Motion for Stay of Execution?

Text: ¶ 10. Todd raises the issue on appeal that the chancellor erred in the additional findings of fact that were supplied to this Court. On April 21, 2000, Todd's attorney filed a Motion for Reconsideration, Suggestion of Error and Request for Stay of Execution. The chancellor on or about April 21, 2000, denied the Motion for Stay of Execution. Todd appealed the denial of the stay of execution on April 26, 2000, to this Court. On May 17, 2000, then Chief Justice Lenore L. Prather ordered that the Chancery Court of Oktibbeha County had fifteen (15) days from entry of its order to provide this Court with its findings of fact concerning the irreparable and disproportionate harm which will occur to Judy W. Dunn and Merchants and Farmers Bank if the stay were granted. The chancellor supplied her findings to this Court. On June 8, 2000, then Presiding Justice Edwin Lloyd Pittman, ordered that Todd's Emergency Motion for Stay be denied. ¶ 11. Todd untimely raised this issue. Todd raised on appeal other issues from the final hearing that dealt with the reformation of the warranty deed. Any decision of this Court as to the other issues surrounding the reformation of the warranty deed raised within this same appeal would render the emergency stay of execution moot by the time this Court decided the reformation issues. This issue as to the emergency stay of execution which was decided by this Court on June 8, 2000, is moot.
