The Board of Pardons may set the time and date of execution only when it denies an application for the exercise of pardon authority. An application filed under this section results in an automatic stay of execution until a ruling by the pardons board. Otey v. State, 240 Neb. 813, 485 N.W.2d 153 (1992).
