   And it is claimed the judicial branch is independent?  For this judge to cave on the basis of overnight comments and media reports shows something unpleasant indeed.

   I don’t think he caved Jak.  From what I understand, this stay is pretty standard fare.

   Rule 41 of the Ninth Circuit provides an automatic stay of the mandate when a petition for rehearing (or for en banc review) is filed.  The appellee (soon to be appellant unless the en banc panel vacates the decision) has indicated that a petition for rehearing will be filed.  THe judge’s action is not out of the ordinary, in light of the rule.

   Thanks, Peggy.  I was fairly certain, but it’s nice to have the facts arrive to shore things up.
