ZH story is misleading.

Gleeson's status was not addressed by the appeals court, other than his appointment was moot.

But, as he notes, short of the Appeals Court ordering the dimissal with immediate effect, it doesn't happen until (a) the District Judge (Sullivan) dismissed it, or 21 days passes.

He (Gleeson) is under an order to respond to the district court with his brief.

So he has a conflict, and his request to the Appeals Court is valid – either tell me I don't need to file the brief, or order an extension to the filing time.

Reality is, he doesn't want to file his brief if it isn't needed, but he's under Sullivan's order to do so and Sullivan has not yet dimissed the order.

Oh, and 21 days is to allow the parties to the case to appeal – Flynn and the DOJ, and not the Judge who was a material witness in the mandamus appeal not a party.

Not bad analysis.

Judge will dismiss, but when? He doesn't have to walk into court immediately.. he has to schedule the hearing, yada, yada, yada which could be days based on logistics. Heck, for all we know he has a bad cold right now.

Gleeson is just covering his own ass.

Do you anons bother to read other posts?

The JUDGE cannot appeal the ruling; only the PLAINTFF (DOJ) and DEFENDANT (Flynn) can.

The Minute Stay was enough to tell Gleeson he didn't need to file the brief that was due.
