Tompkins v. Secretary, Department of Correctionsgreen
ca11 · 2009 · cited in 1 Mississippi opinions naming this issue, 2023–2023
2 sentences

2023In Tompkins v. Secretary, Department of Corrections, 557 F.3d 1257, 1260 (11th Cir. 2009), the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit said that a Ford/Panetti claim is unripe until the time of execution: The reason the Ford claim was not ripe at the time of the first petition in Panetti is not that evidence of an existing or past fact had not been uncovered at that time.

2023Instead, the reason it was unripe was that no Ford claim is ever ripe at the time of the first petition because the facts to be measured or proven—the mental state of the petitioner at the time of execution—do not and cannot exist when the execution is years away. 557 F.3d at 1260 .
