A man on Oklahoma death row is set to plead his case before the Pardon and Parole Board on Wednesday.

Dolly Parton's nephew, Bryan Seaver, has filed a court response to a restraining order from Parton's longtime manager, Danny Nozell.

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted against recommending clemency for James Pavatt, a convicted murderer, leaving the final decision to Gov. Kevin Stitt ahead of Pavatt’s scheduled execution on Nov. 12.

Heavy rain earlier Wednesday caused flooding in Edmond, prompting fire officials and Gov. Kevin Stitt to urge drivers to stay safe and avoid driving through floodwaters.

Heavy rainfall caused a storm drain backup at Midwest City High School, flooding a hallway and temporarily relocating students.
