Supreme Court of the United States

Gray v. Kelly

August 25, 2011180 L. Ed. 2d 879

Summary

The Supreme Court denied Ricky Gray’s application for a stay of the Eastern District of Virginia’s scheduling order that extended his deadline to file a federal habeas petition. The Court held that the standard for staying a judgment does not apply because Gray was not seeking a stay of a judgment, and the higher standard for supervisory authority over a district court was not met.
