29. If it were any other USSC, then a Writ of Mandamus on the shadow docket

Sat Sep 27, 2025, 11:01 AM

should resolve this.

A writ of mandamus is a court order compelling a public official or lower court to perform a required ministerial duty when they have failed to do so, or to correct a clear error. This "extraordinary writ" is not used for discretionary acts but only when a party has a clear legal right to the action, there is no other adequate legal remedy, and the duty is mandatory under law. Filing a petition for mandamus, often to expedite an agency's decision-making or correct an erroneous judicial ruling, leads to a court review to determine if the writ should be granted.

But we're playing Stud Poker.
