John Ramirez is scheduled to be executed by the State of Texas on February 2, 2017. On January 27, 2017, Ramirez filed two motions in the district court: (1) a motion to stay the execution; and (2) a motion for the appointment of new counsel pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3599. After holding a hearing on January 31, 2017, the district court granted the motion to stay the execution and provisionally granted the motion for the appointment of new counsel. The State has filed a motion to vacate the stay of execution in this court. Reviewing the grant of the stay for abuse of discretion, we find no reversible error on the part of the district court. See, e.g., Adams v. Thaler, 679 F.3d 312, 318 (5th Cir. 2012). Moreover, the district court did not lack jurisdiction under these circumstances to grant the stay. Battaglia v. Stephens, 824 F.3d 470, 475-76 (5th Cir. 2016) (per curiam). Motion to vacate stay of execution is DENIED.
