Four justices approved the stay, short of the 5 required.

‘The application for stay of execution of sentences of
death presented to JUSTICE ALITO and by him referred to
the Court is denied. The petition for a writ of certiorari is
denied.
JUSTICE GINSBURG and JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR would
grant the application for stay of execution and the petition
for a writ of certiorari.
JUSTICE BREYER and JUSTICE KAGAN would grant the
application for stay of execution.’

Guess we have the first indication from Gorsuch as to which side of the court he favors.
