Assuming Ms. Maxwell cannot appeal Judge Nathan’s order under the
collateral order doctrine, this Court should exercise mandamus jurisdiction and
issue a writ of mandamus directing the district court to modify the protective order
as requested by Ms. Maxwell. E.g., Wilk v. Am. Med. Ass’n, 635 F.2d 1295, 1298
(7th Cir. 1980) (declining to decide whether the collateral order applied and instead
issuing a writ of mandamus to vacate a district court decision declining to modify
protective order), superseded by rule on other grounds as recognized in Bond v. Utreras,
585 F.3d 1061, 1068 n.4 (7th Cir. 2009); see Pappas, 94 F.3d at 798 (recognizing that
protective orders in criminal cases “[i]n rare instances . . . might raise issues
available for review via a petition for writ of mandamus”).
A writ of mandamus issued under the All Writs Act “confine[s] the court
against which mandamus is sought to a lawful exercise of its prescribed
jurisdiction.” In re City of N.Y., 607 F.3d 923, 932 (2d Cir. 2010) (internal
quotations omitted). A writ is properly issued when “exceptional circumstances
amount[] to a . . . clear abuse of discretion.” Id. (internal quotations omitted).
Three conditions must exist for this Court to issue a writ of mandamus:
(1) the petitioner must demonstrate the right to issuance of the writ is clear and
indisputable; (2) she must have no other adequate means to attain the relief
desired; and (3) the issuing court must be satisfied the writ is appropriate. In re
