    In today's orders, the United States Supreme Court declined to review Franqui's petition for certiorari.

    Appeals exhausted decision could result in an execution date.

    Lower Ct: United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
    Case Nos.: (15-12013)
    Decision Date: September 30, 2015
    Rehearing Denied: November 25, 2015
