The Alabama Supreme Court granted Howard Moore and Charlie Lloyd a writ of mandamus and a writ of prohibition, ordering the Shelby Circuit Court to dissolve the six‑year‑old stay of its October 4, 2018 judgment and to vacate the circuit court’s May 2024 orders setting a trial. The Court held that the stay was immoderate and beyond the trial court’s residual jurisdiction, and that the trial court lacked authority to schedule a new trial on matters already finally decided.
