Hall v. Barr
Application for stay of execution denied on November 19, 2020.
Issue: Whether (1) the Supreme Court's precedents, including Monsanto Co. v. Geertson Seed Farms, require a party seeking injunctive relief to show a certainty of irreparable harm, rather than a likelihood of irreparable harm; (2) whether a substantial and increased risk of bodily harm satisfies the showing required for irreparable harm; and (3) whether the government may carry out an execution in a manner that federal courts have authoritatively determined to be unlawful.
