        They have since corrected that, noting that the reconsideration motion remains pending. The court clerk's office confirmed that with me.

        As to this — "That decision was based on a misinterpretation of fed'l law, and Ark. will seek immed. review." — I'm interested to see where.

        Hard to argue that a discretionary stay of execution by the Arkansas Supreme Court isn't based on independent and adeq state grounds.

        Assuming so, it can't be appealed to SCOTUS, so state's only option would be a motion for reconsideration.
