ABSENT A MOTION FOR STAY OR A STAY BY OPERATION OF AN ORDER, RULE,

OR PROCEDURE, MANDATES WILL ISSUE PROMPTLY ON THE 7TH DAY AFTER THE TIME FOR

FILING A PETITION FOR REHEARING EXPIRES; OR AFTER ENTRY OF AN ORDER DENYING THE

PETITION. AS AN EXCEPTION, AND BY COURT DIRECTION, THE CLERK WILL IMMEDIATELY

ISSUE THE MANDATE WHEN THE COURT DISMISSES A CASE FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

AN APPEAL OR FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION, OR IN SUCH OTHER INSTANCES AS THE COURT

MAY DIRECT. THE ORIGINAL RECORD AND ANY EXHIBITS WILL BE RETURNED TO THE CLERK

OF THE DISTRICT COURT WITH THE MANDATE.

ANY ACTIVE FIFTH CIRCUIT JUDGE MAY REQUEST THAT THE COURT WITHHOLD

ISSUANCE OF ITS MANDATE. THIS IS OFTEN DONE TO RESOLVE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN

THE JUDGE WHO REQUESTS THAT THE MANDATE BE WITHHELD AND THE PANEL OR TO

REQUEST THAT THE COURT BE POLLED ON WHETHER REHEARING EN BANC SHOULD BE

GRANTED WHETHER OR NOT A PETITION FOR REHEARING EN BANC HAS BEEN FILED BY

A PARTY. IF A MANDATE IS WITHHELD, THE JUDGE SHALL NOTIFY THE CLERK TO

WITHHOLD THE MANDATE, AND THE CLERK WILL ENTER AN ORDER WITHHOLDING THE

MANDATE. THE IDENTITY OF THE JUDGE WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED IN THE ORDER.

Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law.
