Flynn Sentencing Update: Team Flynn's Mandamus Petition Will Be Refused In The DC Circuit Of Appeals...

I link it, only so you may see how much like. . . Swiss Cheese it is. Judge Sullivan has made no ruling from which Sidney Powell may appeal, for Ex-Gen. Flynn. Thus the "command" feature of mandamus cannot be invoked. The able trial court judge has entered nothing final, from which the upper court may properly command be undone -- or done. . . and that is what mandamus is.

So the above fails. In the mean time, by next week, we will see the retired judge's amicus brief, and we may well see the "Watergate prosecutors'" brief as well, as amici. In any event, there will be nothing to appeal until long after the below oral argument -- order just entered by the able Judge Sullivan:

. . . .Motion For Reconsideration due no later than 12:00PM on 5/26/2020. Court-Appointed Amicus Curiae Amicus Brief due no later than 12:00PM on 6/10/2020. Motion Seeking Leave To File An Amicus Brief By Non-Court-Appointed Amicus Curiae due no later than 12:00PM on 6/10/2020.

Government And Defendant Sur-Reply Briefs due no later than 12:00PM on 6/26/2020.Government, Defendant And Court-Appointed Amicus Curiae Consolidated Response To Any Amicus Brief Of Non-Court Appointed Amicus Curiae due no later than 12:00PM on 7/2/2020.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that the Court schedules oral argument for July 16, 2020 at 11:00 AM in Courtroom 24A. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 5/19/2020. . . .

Now you know. Onward, grinning. . . .
