Manzano v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on November 2, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether the United States may seek a writ of mandamus in a criminal
case to bring an interlocutory appeal that is not permitted by 18 U.S.C. § 3731; and (2) whether a writ of mandamus may issue when the applicant does not
have a clear and indisputable right to it by established law, but the issuing court is
firmly convinced that the lower court is wrong.
