I understand that a Lee-only stay application was filed as well, but we have not gotten notice of that from #SCOTUS.

Finally, Breyer was the sole noted dissent in the "compressed execution schedule" request. He wrote about it a little, too.

I see at least two other matters still pending at the 8th Circuit (in addition to the four at
#SCOTUS). -
The DNA case is pending at the 8th Circuit: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3675167-Lee-v-Jegley-8th-Cir-Motion-for-Stay.html … / Here's the state's opposition:https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3675166-Lee-v-Jegley-8th-Cir-Response.html …

As far as I can tell, there are no 8th Circuit appeals that remain pending.
-
That means we are awaiting word from
#SCOTUS — although likely stay applications pending cert in the DNA cases will be going to SCOTUS, too. -
Recall that Justice Alito's stay was until 9:30p ET or further order from the court — whichever was LATER. So,
#SCOTUS stay stands. -

With 45 minutes left on the death warrant, we're back to the Monday questions about what ~legally~ has to be done before midnight.
-
And, whether the state officials and executioners know what that is.

On Monday in Arkansas, reporters weren't able to get answers to these questions.
