Before: WARDLAW, GOULD, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.
Before the court is the government’s emergency motion for a stay of our
order of November 16, 2017, which denied the government’s petition for a writ of
mandamus and lifted a temporary stay that we had previously imposed. As the
order denying mandamus relief was effective immediately upon its issuance, see
Ellis v. U.S. Dist. Court, 360 F.3d 1022, 1023 (9th Cir. 2004) (en banc),
jurisdiction now lies with the district court, and not with this court. Compare
Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft v. U.S. Dist. Court, 805 F.2d 340, 341–42 (10th
Cir. 1986) (ordering a stay of district court proceedings before any order denying
or granting mandamus had issued). If the government seeks further relief from this
court, it must do so in a new petition for mandamus. The government’s emergency
motion for a stay is therefore DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
