Generally, an appellate court only has jurisdiction when a case has gone to final judgment.

Mandamus is an interim appeal that is only for fairly extreme cases of a court exceeding its authority. It's difficult to get an appellate court to take one.

But, Sullivan's behavior is such that they just might take this one.

Thank you! I appreciate it.

If they don’t take this mandamus, then it makes them look in on it. Since they JUST ruled on this recently, I think that that action compels them to not ignore it, but grant it.
