Christa Pike asked to reopen her federal habeas case under Rule 60(b)(6), arguing that Tennessee’s later acknowledgment of the abuse she suffered as a minor undermined the integrity of earlier proceedings. The district court treated the motion as a successive habeas petition and transferred it to the Sixth Circuit, which briefly stayed her execution to consider the issue. The Supreme Court granted Tennessee’s request to vacate that stay, allowing the execution to proceed before the Sixth Circuit completed review. Justice Sotomayor, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, dissented. The order resolves only the emergency stay, not the merits of Pike’s Rule 60(b)(6) claim.
