LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - An Arkansas death row inmate out of appeals at the state level wants another chance before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Don Davis on Wednesday asked the Arkansas Supreme Court to recall a day-old order ending his most recent appeal.

Davis intends to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether Arkansas' justices erred when they said he wasn't entitled to independent mental health experts before and during his trial. The U.S. Supreme Court considered a similar case last year.

Davis was among eight inmates scheduled to die last April before winning a stay. Arkansas ultimately executed four inmates.

Arkansas' attorney general said she would respond later.
