Order
Fri 04/19 3:14 PM
SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER ADDRESSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS: This Court has great regard for the judicial process. It has deliberately considered all motions the parties brought, and its decisions are accessible for appellate scrutiny in the due course of litigation. Trial courts across the country address complex cases involving similar jurisdictional, evidentiary, and legal questions as those presented here without resorting to interlocutory appeal or petitioning for a writ of mandamus. As Justice Stewart noted, "the proper place for the trial is in the trial court, not here." Baker v. Carr , 369 U.S. 186, 266 (1962) (Stewart, J., concurring.) Defendants therefore have other means, such as a direct appeal, to obtain the desired relief. This Court recommends denying defendants' petition for writ of mandamus.
