      That means we are awaiting word from #SCOTUS — although likely stay applications pending cert in the DNA cases will be going to SCOTUS, too.

      Chris Geidner‏Verified account @chrisgeidner 20 Apr 2017

      Recall that Justice Alito's stay was until 9:30p ET or further order from the court — whichever was LATER. So, #SCOTUS stay stands.
