#### Gyrone BUCKLEY v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 06-172

236 S.W.3d 518

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered May 25, 2006

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Gyrone Buckley, by and through his attorney Patrick J. Benca, has filed a motion to stay briefing schedule and a motion for extension of brief time if stay is denied. In his motion to stay briefing schedule, Appellant argues that because there is a pending clemency application before the Governor, he should be granted the stay. This argument is without merit, as there is no certainty of the impact or the outcome of the *453Governor’s decision. Furthermore, Appellant previously had been granted two brief extensions, with the final extension set to expire on May 11, 2006. We will not grant a motion to stay briefing schedule, based upon the possibility of the Governor’s clemency decision, when Appellant has already been granted a final extension.

Appellant also seeks a seven-day extension to file his brief. The motion for additional time to file is granted and the time is extended seven days from the date of this order. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.

Motion to stay briefing schedule denied; motion for extension of brief time granted.
