OMAR RASHAD POUNCY, Petitioner, v. CARMEN D. PALMER, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO STAY REMAINDER OF STATE COURT SENTENCE PENDING APPEAL (ECF No. 500)
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Petitioner Omar Rashad Pouncy has filed a motion to stay the remainder of his state court sentence pending appeal. The motion is DENIED. It is not clear to the Court that it has the authority to grant the requested relief in light of the fact that appeals by both parties are pending in the Sixth Circuit. But even if the Court had such authority, it would not exercise that authority to grant a stay because the Court is not persuaded that Pouncy is entitled to that relief or that granting that relief would otherwise be appropriate.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
