040598 Orbe v. Johnson, Director Va Dept. of Corrections (Order) 03/30/2004 (Revised 07/01/2004) The trial court correctly dismissed appellant's declaratory judgment action seeking an adjudication that Virginia's lethal injection protocol violates the Constitution of Virginia and a permanent injunction preventing the use of such protocol in carrying out his execution where appellant was deemed, by operation of statute, to have selected lethal injection rather than electrocution as the method of his execution. Appellant's petition for appeal and motions attendant thereto are denied. See Record No. 040598, Orbe v. Johnson dated March 31, 2004
