Daniel Lee, a 47-year-old white supremacist, was convicted in 1999 of killing a gun dealer, his wife and her eight-year-old daughter in Arkansas.
"The public, like the government, has an interest in prompt and orderly execution of Mr. Lee's death sentence," she wrote.
US prosecutors can appeal the decision all the way to the Supreme Court but Baker Kurrus, a lawyer for Peterson and other relatives of the victims, expressed hope that they would not. Peterson opposes the death penalty and has asked the administration of President Donald Trump several times to grant Lee clemency.
