District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan has issued an ordering directing the Parties to take certain steps in the aftermath of yesterdays decision by the Circuit Court of Appeal to deny the Petition for Mandamus.
Here is the order:

As I noted in my story yesterday on the decision, at the very end of the opinion the Appeals Court directed Judge Sullivan to resolve the matter with dispatch which is a backhanded way of saying he had not acted in such fashion up to this point in time.
Judge Sullivan has entered an Order today which essentially ignores all the briefing that took place before the Appeals Court, and directs the parties to do more briefing and then get together and agree on three proposed hearing dates. They are directed to file a joint status report recommending further proceedings.
The Order says the joint status report should be filed by the parties no later than Sept. 21.
My view is that Gen. Flynns counsel and DOJ should take the position that they are the only two parties, and file a Joint Status Conference for just the two of them not including amicus counsel.
Amicus counsel was named by the Court to assist the Court. Amicus counsel is not a shadow party. Gen. Flynn and DOJ should force the Court to enter Orders directed to amicus counsel in a way that isolates Judge Gleeson as a non-party, or force Judge Sullivan to treat him as a de facto party rather than simply an advisor to the Court.

And yeah, a Federal Judge has incredible power.
So...his attorney is lying? Why?
What makes you think she’s lying?
