MONTGOMERY -- An attorney for Alabama death row inmate Max Landon Payne says he doesn't expect to file last-minute appeals to stop Thursday's scheduled execution.

Attorney Bruce Nestor of Minneapolis said Tuesday that Payne has exhausted his available appeals.

Payne is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. Thursday at Holman Prison in Atmore. Prisons spokesman Brian Corbett said Payne was being moved into a holding cell near the execution chamber.

Payne was convicted of kidnapping, robbing and killing the owner of a Cullman County grocery store, Braxton Brown, on March 23, 1992. Brown was shot in the face with a shotgun and his body dumped into Crooked Creek.

Payne was arrested a day later at a bus station in Miami, Fla.
