  1. Lenz v. Johnson

    443 F. Supp. 2d 785 (E.D. Va. 2006)   Cited 1 times

    Case Law in this District and Hill Lenz discounts this Court's rulings in two recent ยง 1983 lethal injection challenges: 1) Reid v. Johnson, 333 F. Supp. 2d 543 (E.D. Va. 2004) and 2) Vinson v. Johnson, No. 3:06cv230 (E.D. Va. Apr. 19, 2006). Specifically, Lenz claims that the Court's special focus on the particular "chemical recipe" in Reid amounted to the denial of injunctive relief without properly considering all aspects of Virginia's lethal injection protocol.

  3. Emmett v. Johnson

    489 F. Supp. 2d 543 (E.D. Va. 2007)   Cited 4 times
    Holding that when a court "cannot say with confidence that the harm is more likely than not to occur at all," the movant has failed to meet their burden

    Almost every issue raised by Plaintiff has been heard and decided by this or another court in this district. See Walker, 448 F. Supp. 2d 719; Lenz v. Johnson, 443 F. Supp. 2d 785 (E.D. Va. 2006); Vinson v. Johnson, No. 3:06CV230-HEH, 2006 WL 4509943 (E.D. Va. Apr. 19, 2006); Reid, 333 F. Supp. 2d 543. Plaintiff, however, raised two issues not previously decided by a court in this district. First, that the established procedure fails to require adequate formal training of execution team members and the presence of necessary medical equipment to resuscitate the inmate in the event that a stay of execution, commutation, or reprieve is granted after the administration of the lethal chemicals has commenced.
