Summary dispositions5

  1. 19-8695Ruben Gutierrez v. Luis V. SaenzThe motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari are granted. The June 12, 2020 order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granting the motion to vacate the stay of execution previously issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas is vacated. The case is remanded to the Court of Appeals with instructions to remand the case to the District Court for further and prompt consideration of the merits of petitioner’s underlying claims regarding the presence of a spiritual advisor in the execution chamber in light of the District Court’s November 24, 2020 findings of fact. Although this Court’s stay of execution shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court, the disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari is without prejudice to a renewed application regarding a stay of execution should petitioner’s execution be rescheduled before resolution of his claims regarding the presence of a spiritual advisor in the execution chamber.
