GA is probably more likely to execute during the pandemic than TX, but I'm willing to bet his pending lethal injection lawsuit would delay anyway. Raulerson will be the litmus test when he loses at SCOTUS next week.

It's a bit more complex than that, assuming I skimmed it properly. The majority of the panel, William Pryor (G.W. Bush) and Lagoa (Trump) ruled that Nance's claims were not cognizable as a Section 1983 Civil Rights claim, and should have been a habeas petition. The majority further said that this is a successive petition, that Nance required permission from the 11th Circuit to file it, that it does not meet the requirements necessary for a successive petition to be allowed, and ordered the District Court to dismiss Nance's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Martin (Obama) dissented.

Court denies Georgia death-row inmate’s request for firing squad
By Bill Rankin
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The federal appeals court in Atlanta on Tuesday refused to reconsider an earlier ruling that denied a death-row inmate’s request to die by firing squad.
The request had been made by Michael Nance, who said his veins are so narrow that an attempted lethal injection execution could give him excruciating pain.
Nance was sentenced to death by a Gwinnett County jury in 2002 for fatally shooting 43-year-old Gabor Balogh when he resisted giving up his car to Nance. Nance had just robbed the Tucker Federal Savings and Loan in Lilburn and was looking for a getaway car.
By a 7-3 vote, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stood by its ruling in December, which said the court was barred from considering Nance’s request on procedural grounds.
Tuesday’s ruling sparked a dissent from Judge Charles Wilson, who said the court should consider Nance’s claims, given his unique medical condition.
“A prison medical technician told Nance that the execution team will have to ‘cut his neck’ to carry out lethal injection,” Wilson wrote. “During his execution, Nance will likely endure a prolonged and painful attempt to gain intravenous access.”
Even if the execution team locates a vein, there is a substantial risk Nance’s vein will lose its structural integrity and “blow,” said Wilson, who was joined by Judges Beverly Martin and Adalberto Jordan. This will cause “intensely painful burning and a prolonged execution that will feel like death by suffocation.”
Wilson noted that Nance is not seeking to avoid his execution.
“He accepts his fate,” Wilson said. “He does not ask to be spared. Nance asks only that the method by which the state will take his life falls in line with his Eighth Amendment right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment.”
In response, Chief Judge Bill Pryor, joined by Judges Kevin Newsom and Barbara Lagoa, said the court’s ruling is consistent with U.S. Supreme Court precedent.
Nance had already exhausted all the appeals that Congress allows such inmates to pursue, Pryor said. “Federal courts do not have jurisdiction to provide the remedy for every right denied.”

"There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
"He accepts his fate." No he doesn't. If he did he would stop fighting.
"He's not trying to avoid execution." Yes he is. He is trying to get the only statutorily authorized method in GA declared unconstitutional for him, knowing full well that that the GA legislature won't pass legislation permitting alternate methods such as firing squad.
Death row inmates don't litigate in good faith. End of story.
