Cite as 2011 Ark. 197 SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS No. CR 93-988 No. CR 99-1221 FRANK WILLIAMS, JR., Opinion Delivered May 5, 2011 APPELLANT, MOTION FOR STAY OF VS. EXECUTION, STATE OF ARKANSAS, APPELLEE, GRANTED. PER CURIAM Petitioner, Frank Williams, Jr., moves this court for a stay of execution, which is scheduled for June 22, 2011. In Singleton v. Norris, 332 Ark. 196, 964 S.W.2d 366 (1998), we set out criteria for a stay of execution. There, we explained that where appeals are involved, Arkansas Code Annotated section 16-90-506(c)(3) grants this court the power to suspend execution of the judgment of death. Id. at 200, 964 S.W.2d at 367. Because two appeals involving constitutional issues are pending in this court, we grant the stay. Motion for stay of execution granted. CORBIN, J., not participating.
