Key Files Motion to Stay in April Jones Case

Mitchell,

Just a reminder that the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on April's case on Friday. This is just an application to stay the competency hearing and get her case back on course to getting resolved. The Supreme Court doesn't grant these very often, so although her case is strong, I am going to have to remain pessimistic about the ruling. 

Here is the link to the docket: http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/13a654.htm
(I uploaded this via Scribd.--ML)


About a week ago, I filed a supplement to that application. It is attached. 

I'm also concurrently dealing with a nursing home director who is removing the people who have assisted April the most. So she is now isolated even further. Of course this is a violation of federal law, but fighting a nursing home where someone is confined by a hostile guardian is about the most difficult situation imaginable. It is beyond words.

Thanks always for listening,

Earl
