    Singletary, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections v. Francis.
   Application to vacate the stay of execution of sentence of death entered by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, presented to Justice Kennedy, and by him referred to the Court, granted provided that the stay shall remain in effect until 7 a.m. Tuesday, June 25,1991, in order to allow for further consideration by the Court of Appeals in light of Coleman v. Thompson, ante, p. 722. Justice Blackmun and Justice Stevens would deny the application.

Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 231 (1976), I would deny the application to vacate the stay of execution.
