I understand that a Lee-only stay application was filed as well, but we have not gotten notice of that from #SCOTUS.
Here is the claim in that one, which I have been provided a copy of:pic.twitter.com/O6qEpu9jmn
Apparently, Lee has obtained a temporary stay:https://twitter.com/alanblinder/status/855209473002151936 …

BREAKING: #SCOTUS denies relief in Arkansas execution matters filed prior to today.pic.twitter.com/GP3JM5y8tf
In the main case, the appeal of the 8th Cir ruling reversing the injunction on the 8th Amend claim, #SCOTUS splits 5-4 against a stay.pic.twitter.com/G7pqfUlCLZ

Breyer also wrote, dissenting from the stay denial: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3675132-16-8770-Order-I-1.html …pic.twitter.com/KFK8tmwzt1
In the request for a stay pending consideration of the petition for rehearing in Johnson v. Kelley, only 3 justices (not RBG) noted dissent.pic.twitter.com/K5IRZcv6iz
Finally, Breyer was the sole noted dissent in the "compressed execution schedule" request. He wrote about it a little, too. #SCOTUSpic.twitter.com/KKEvCFPXpO

Lee's lawyers have filed a notice of appeal in that case.
Here is my latest on the situation in Arkansas:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/thursday-arkansas-executions-story?utm_term=.itdJ0nxMQb#.duwxeRLbBm …
JUST IN: There are THREE new #SCOTUS stay requests pending for Ledell Lee, per court's public information office.
Also: The four inmates involved in the clemency case, including Lee, are seeking #SCOTUS review: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3675145-16-8788-Lee-v-Hutchinson-Clemency.html … (and stays)
BREAKING: #SCOTUS—Justice Alito—issues temporary stay of execution for Lee until 9:30p ET or further order of the ct, whichever is later.pic.twitter.com/9CvUoDxE6o
MEANWHILE: The 8th Circuit just extended its temporary stay until 9:15p CT.pic.twitter.com/7o0A9Gi6Q3
That means that, regardless of what #SCOTUS does, Arkansas is now on hold until 9:15p CT.
Here's where things stand with the two planned executions in Arkansas tonight, as of 9:36p ET: https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/thursday-arkansas-executions-story?utm_term=.ffkVL8ajYv#.onvdxaRMjQ …pic.twitter.com/LmsRjmfH39
