NOW THEREFORE, after considering the application filed herein and being fully advised in the premises, this Court finds that it is necessary that a new date for execution be set in the above styled and numbered appeal.

IT IS THEREFORE THE ORDER OF THIS COURT, that the order entered by this Court on September 12, 1980, staying the execution of the death warrant in this appeal shall be vacated; and it is further ordered that the date for the execution of appellant, LARRY LEON CHANEY; shall be June 29, 1981, in accordance with the provisions of 22 O.S.1977 Supp., § 1014.
