A federal appeals court ruling clears the way for the only woman on federal death row to be executed.

The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that a lower judge was wrong to vacate Lisa Montgomery’s execution date last week. U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss prohibited the Bureau of Prisons from carrying out Montgomery’s execution until at least Jan. 1, after her attorneys contracted coronavirus while visiting their client, and they requested the judge extend the amount of time to file a clemency petition.
