ORDER denying 18 Motion to Stay without prejudice. Signed by District Judge Sharion Aycock on 2/19/2014. (psk)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
EASTERN DIVISION
YASMIN HUGHES
v.

PETITIONER
No. 1:09CV284-SA-DAS

CHRISTOPHER EPPS, ET AL.

RESPONDENTS

ORDER DENYING STATE’S MOTION [18] TO
STAY EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT WITHOUT PREJUDICE
This matter comes before the court on the motion [18] by the State to stay execution of the
court’s judgment granting the instant petition for a writ of habeas corpus and requiring the
unconditional release of the petitioner. As the case is currently on appeal, the court finds that the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals is best situated to make such a ruling. As such, the instant motion [18] is
DENIED without prejudice to the State’s ability to seek such relief in the Fifth Circuit.

SO ORDERED, this, the 19th day of February, 2014.
/s/ Sharion Aycock_________
U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
