Response will be filled June 1. The appellate panel will take a week at least to review, then schedule a hearing.
The hearing is heard towards the end of June. Expect democrats to insist on calling supporting witnesses.
Once the hearing is complete, the appellate panel takes up the matter of the Writ.
The Writ could come in August.
The delay gives the Deep State time to launch a distraction.
CJ Roberts and friends will just have to swalwell and realize that only one of the three Appellate judges is an "Obama judge." (haha)
If the Appellate panel is inclined against Sullivan's delay tactics, I believe they won't let Gleeson or any other "amicus" do anything, so either they'll temporarily enjoin further activities of Sullivan's court until their ruling, or simply issue the Writ, ordering Sullivan to grant the dismissal that DOJ's Shea requested.
