How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that, even where mandamus is not appropriate, a court may retain jurisdiction to obtain information regarding the anticipated dates of administrative action and remain informed of an agency’s progress
• indicating that a common practice in the circuit is to consider whether the delay is “egregious”
• explaining that the All Writs Act \does not expand the jurisdiction of a court\
• declining to issue an order because of FCC assurances that it was “moving expeditiously” to resolve the delayed action
• “The All Writs Act is not an independent grant of jurisdiction to a court; it merely permits a court to issue writs in aid of jurisdiction acquired to grant some other form of relief.”
• “It is well settled that even where Congress has not expressly stated that statutory jurisdiction is ‘exclusive,’ ... a statute which vests jurisdiction in a particular court cuts off original jurisdiction in other courts in all cases covered by that statute.”
