US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Opinions In Re: Richard Drummond Docket: 17-20618 Opinion Date: March 29, 2018 Judge: Per Curiam Areas of Law: Civil Procedure The Fifth Circuit granted relator's petitioner for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to resolve this False Claims Act case. The court held that the requirements for mandamus relief were easily met in this case, because the case has been pending for over nine years and the two motions identified in the petition have been pending for approximately four years. The court reasoned that the district judge has had ample time to consider the pending motions—including the nearly six months since relator filed his petition for a writ of mandamus.
