My reply brief has been completed and is ready to be filed. However, earlier today the

D.C. Circuit granted Mr. Flynn’s petition for a writ of mandamus in part, directing the Court to

grant the Government’s Rule 48(a) motion to dismiss and vacate its order appointing me as

amicus curiae. Under the D.C. Circuit’s rules, an “order or judgment granting or denying the

relief sought will become effective automatically 21 days after issuance in the absence of an

order or other special direction of this court to the contrary.” D.C. Circuit Rule 41(a)(3). Because

the D.C. Circuit can depart from this rule and give its order immediate effect by saying so

explicitly, cf. In re de Henriquez, No. 15-3054, 2015 WL 10692637, at *2 (D.C. Cir. Oct. 16,

2015) (“FURTHER ORDERED that this order become effective immediately.”), but has not

done so in this case, I believe this Court’s orders appointing me and directing me to file my reply

brief today remain in effect. The writ is not yet in effect, and it is conceivable that further

proceedings in the circuit court may prevent it from taking effect.
