This was the appeal that had to do with the drug shield issue that halted executions in Arkansas. Hopefully they have the drugs to resume.

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson set the execution dates for eight Arkansas death row inmates on Monday (Feb. 27).
The eight inmates have all been convicted of capital murder.
“This action is necessary to fulfill the requirement of the law, but it is also important to bring closure to the victims’ families who have lived with the court appeals and uncertainty for a very long time,” Hutchinson said.
The execution dates were set as follows:
Kenneth Williams – April 27, 2017
Bruce Ward – April 17, 2017
Stacey Johnson – April 20, 2017
Don Williamson Davis – April 17, 2017
Ledell Lee – April 20, 2017
Jack Harold Jones – April 24, 2017
Jason McGehee – April 27, 2017
Marcel Williams – April 24, 2017

Inmates ask Arkansas court to void orders setting execution dates
Attorneys for eight Arkansas death row inmates scheduled to be put to death next month are asking the state's highest court to invalidate the proclamations scheduling their executions, arguing that a stay is still in place.
The inmates asked the state Supreme Court on Wednesday to void Gov. Asa Hutchinson's orders setting their execution dates. Hutchinson on Monday set four double executions during a 10-day period in April, though the state is lacking one of the drugs needed to put them to death.
The inmates' attorneys say a stay blocking the executions is still in place while an amended complaint challenging Arkansas' lethal injection law is pending in a Pulaski County court. The state Monday asked the state to clarify that the stay on executions had been lifted.

I was going to pm this to Helen this update doesn't allow that so I have no choice but to post this here. Stacey's crime description is wrong as his appeals detail a completely different crime.http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ar-suprem...t/1171655.html.
Thanks propro

Clemency hearings set for 5 death row inmates
The Arkansas Parole Board scheduled clemency hearings for five of the eight inmates scheduled to be executed in April.
According to the Arkansas Department of Correction, clemency hearings have been set for Stacey Johnson and Ledelle Lee on March 24; Marcell Williams on March 27; and Kenneth Williams and Jason McGehee on March 31.
In February, Gov. Asa Hutchinson set the execution dates for eight inmates on death row, saying it was required by law.
Hutchinson set the following execution dates:
Don Williams Davis - April 17
Bruce Earl Ward - April 17
Ledelle Lee - April 20
Stacey Eugene Johnson - April 20
Jack Harold Jones - April 24
Marcel Williams - April 24
Kenneth D. Williams - April 27
Jason F. McGehee - April 27
Arkansas hasn't executed an inmate since 2005 due to legal challenges and issues getting execution drugs.

Arkansas inmates make longshot bids to avoid execution
Two Arkansas inmates scheduled for lethal injections next month are asking the parole board to spare their lives, a longshot effort to halt an unprecedented plan to execute eight prisoners in a 10-day period.
Stacey Johnson and a lawyer for Ledell Lee appeared for the board Friday, asking it to recommend that Gov. Asa Hutchinson commute their sentences. Such efforts typically fail. Of the 27 people executed in Arkansas since 1990, 20 had clemency requests rejected and the others didn't apply. Gov. Mike Huckabee commuted one man's sentence on his own after a reluctant juror stepped forward.
Johnson and Lee are set to die April 20. Other double executions are set for April 17, 24 and 27.
The board will hear later Friday from relatives of the men's victims.

Arkansas inmates ask judge to halt 4 double executions
The eight inmates facing lethal injection in Arkansas next month asked a federal judge on Monday to block the state's unprecedented plan to conduct four nights of double executions over a 10-day period.
Attorneys for the inmates sought a preliminary injunction to halt the executions, which are scheduled to begin April 17, arguing that the use of the controversial sedative midazolam and the rushed schedule violates their clients' constitutional rights.
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson last month scheduled the executions to occur before the state's supply of midazolam expires at the end of April.
"The rushed schedule appreciably increases the risk of harm to plaintiffs, falls far outside the bounds of modern penological practice, and disrespects the plaintiffs' fundamental dignity — defects that all run against the Eighth Amendment's protections," the inmates argued in a court filing.
Arkansas hasn't executed an inmate since 2005 because of court challenges and difficulty obtaining lethal injection drugs. The state hasn't carried out a double execution since 1999.
While Texas has executed eight people in a month — twice in 1997 — no state in the modern era has executed that many prisoners in 10 days.
The lawsuit is the latest of several efforts by the inmates to halt the executions. A separate challenge against Arkansas' lethal injection law — which keeps the source of the state's lethal injection drugs secret — is pending in Pulaski County Circuit Court. The inmates have also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its decision to not weigh in on a state court ruling upholding the law's constitutionality.
Five of the inmates have also asked the state Parole Board to recommend Hutchinson spare their lives.
