B. Validity of the Implementing Rule
Some comments challenged the
implementing rule for chapter 154,
Subpart B of 28 CFR part 26, arguing
that it is invalid on procedural and
substantive grounds. These criticisms
are not well founded and in any event
do not bear on this certification. See Br.
for Appellants at 28–49 and Reply Br.
for Appellants at 15–28, Habeas Corpus
Resource Ctr. v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice,
816 F.3d 1241 (9th Cir. 2016) (No. 14–
16928).

C. Request for a Stay
Some comments asked that I stay my
certification of Arizona’s mechanism
pending judicial review of my
determination, arguing the matter on the
terms a court would consider in
deciding whether to order a stay—
likelihood that the determination will
be overturned on judicial review,
alleged irreparable harm to the
commenters and their clients, alleged
lack of harm to Arizona and other
interested parties, and the public
interest. Chapter 154 creates no
requirement that I grant a stay, however,
and I decline to do so.
Chapter 154 conditions its
applicability on the Attorney General’s
determination that a State has
established a capital counsel
mechanism satisfying its requirements—
not on the completion of judicial review
of my determination. See 28 U.S.C.
2261(b), 2265. Also, 28 U.S.C.
2265(a)(1)(B), (a)(2) directs me to
determine the date on which the state
capital counsel mechanism was
established and makes that date the
effective date of the certification. Thus,
chapter 154 applies to cases in which
postconviction counsel was appointed
pursuant to the mechanism, though the
appointment occurred prior to the
publication of this notice. See 152 Cong.
Rec. at 2449 (remarks of Sen. Kyl)
(explaining effect of section 2265(a)(2));
151 Cong. Rec. at E2640 (extension of
remarks of Rep. Flake) (same); Habeas
Corpus Resource Ctr., 816 F.3d at 1245
(‘‘[t]he certification is effective as of the
date the Attorney General finds the state
established its adequate mechanism’’).
A stay would mean, however, that the
certification would not yet be effective
in relation to cases in which state
postconviction counsel was appointed
on or after May 19, 1998—
notwithstanding my determination that
Arizona established a capital counsel
mechanism satisfying chapter 154 on
that date—but would only take effect at
some unpredictable future time when
litigation relating to the certification has
run its course.

Jkt 250001
Moreover, the commenters’ arguments
for a stay were not convincing. It is not
likely that a challenge to the
certification will prevail on the merits
because Arizona has in fact established
a mechanism satisfying the
requirements of chapter 154, as
explained in this notice. The Ninth
Circuit’s determination in Spears that
Arizona has established a capital
counsel mechanism satisfying the
requirements of chapter 154—a
mechanism that has not changed
materially since the time of that
decision—makes it particularly unlikely
that another court will reach a different
conclusion.
Even if there were a likelihood of a
challenge succeeding on the merits,
there is no public interest, or prospect
of irreparable injury, that justifies a stay.
The commenters’ claims on these points
largely relate to a concern that the time
available to seek federal habeas review
will be severely curtailed or eliminated
if the time limit of 28 U.S.C. 2263
becomes applicable. This concern is not
well founded and does not bear on the
validity of the certification as explained
above. Commenters also raised, in this
connection, criticisms of other aspects
of chapter 154, including provisions of
28 U.S.C. 2264 and 2266 that limit
review of procedurally defaulted claims
and amendment of petitions, and the
provisions that set time limits for
federal habeas courts to conclude their
review of state capital cases. These
features of chapter 154 are legislative
responses to the unique problems of
delay in capital litigation and are within
Congress’s constitutional authority over
matters of judicial procedure in federal
habeas review, as discussed above. The
litigation and adjudication of cases in
conformity with the applicable legal
rules are not sources of ‘‘injury’’
supporting a stay. All of these claims
amount to criticisms of chapter 154
itself. They may arise in future habeas
corpus litigation, but they do not bear
on the question before me. See Calderon
v. Ashmus, 523 U.S. at 746–49.
On the other side of the ledger,
Arizona will be harmed if it is denied
the benefits of the chapter 154 review
procedures, to which it is legally
entitled based on its establishment of a
capital counsel mechanism satisfying
the requirements of chapter 154. The
survivors of victims murdered by
persons under sentence of death in
Arizona will be harmed by a stay,
prolonging their suffering and further
denying them the closure of a final
disposition of the cases that concern
them. See 152 Cong. Rec. at 2441–47
(remarks of Sen. Kyl); 151 Cong. Rec. at
E2639 (extension of remarks of Rep.
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
20721
Flake). There will also be harm to any
persons under sentence of death in
Arizona who would be granted relief on
a final disposition of their federal
habeas petitions, but whose cases now
linger for years or decades because there
is no requirement that the cases be
accorded priority or concluded within
any time frame. As noted above, the
submissions elicited by Arizona’s
request for certification show instances
in which the litigation of Arizona
capital cases has continued for over 20
years. Staying the remediation Congress
has adopted, to which Arizona is
entitled, would be harmful to many and
not in the public interest.
Consequently, I do not stay my
certification of Arizona’s postconviction
capital counsel mechanism and the
effective date of the certification is May
19, 1998, in conformity with 28 U.S.C.
2265(a)(2).
Dated: April 6, 2020.
William P. Barr,
Attorney General.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department’s Federal Bonding Program
(FBP) provides fidelity bonds that
protect employers hiring at-risk job
applicants from theft, forgery, or
embezzlement by the employee.
Although the bonds have primarily
served offenders, any at-risk job
applicant is eligible for bonding
services, including: Recovering
substance abusers (alcohol or drugs),
welfare recipients and other persons
having poor financial credit,
economically disadvantaged youth and
adults who lack a work history,
individuals dishonorably discharged
from the military, and others. Over the
years, the FBP has remained a relatively
small program, currently serving about
900 offenders a year. The Department is
now expanding the use of fidelity bonds
in placing offenders by providing funds
to states to purchase such bonds. The
Department seeks approval under the
PRA for the reporting and record
keeping requirements of this new
demonstration project. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on September 5, 2019
(84 FR 46762).
