Federal Circuit Denies Writ of Mandamus to Force E.D. Tex. Court to Decide Transfer Motion

Feb 2, 2016

Reading Time : 1 min

After Marten filed its Writ, the district court scheduled a hearing for the transfer motion for the following month. There was no indication in the record that the hearing was scheduled in response to Marten’s Writ, though the hearing was scheduled just 11 days after the Writ was filed. Nevertheless, the Federal Circuit denied Marten’s Writ because the district court had set the transfer motion for a hearing, stating that it “expects that the district court will promptly decide the transfer motion.”
