          TO  THE MOBILE   COUNTY  CIRCUIT  COURT

                   THIS IS A CAPITAL CASE
              WITH  AN EXECUTION   SCHEDULED
              FOR  THURSDAY,  JANUARY   25, 2018

the United States and Circuit Justice for the Eleventh Circuit:

     On January 25, 2018, the State of Alabama has scheduled an execution

date for the second time for Vernon Madison, a 67-year-old man who has been

on Alabama's death row for over 30 years. On January 16, 2018, the Mobile

County Circuit Court denied Mr. Madison's petition challenging his competency

to be executed. Alabama law does not permit any appeal in state court, so the

petition for certiorari he has filed in this Court is the only opportunity he has to

                              1
