He definitely didn't ask for the chair. He just filed a successive stay request for nitrogen.
Update 1:25 p.m. - Christopher Price’s attorneys have filed an emergency motion to a federal judge in Mobile seeking a preliminary injunction to halt tonight’s execution. The motion states that despite the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeal’s rejection Wednesday of Price’s appeal that the court did confirm “that Price had demonstrated a substantial likelihood of showing that nitrogen hypoxia is an ‘available’ method of execution that the State could use relatively easily and reasonably quickly on Mr. Price as an alternative to the midazolam lethal injection protocol ‘that will cause him severe pain and needless suffering ... The 11th Circuit held that the evidentiary record was insufficient on a single discrete factual issue—whether execution by nitrogen hypoxia would be essentially painless for Mr. Price.”
Update 3:15 p.m. - The Alabama Attorney General’s office has responded to an emergency motion to a federal judge in Mobile to halt the execution. “This Court should refuse to grant Price’s motion for a stay primarily because he waited too late to request this relief.” The state had also previously said that Price did not sign up for nitrogetn hypoxia execution (an unused and untested method) when death row inmates were given a deadline.
