The GSEs $$$ runs out in December, 2017. A delay is as good as a win.

A writ of mandamus works both ways... for plaintiffs and defendants. It is an important vehicle because it does not require a case to be settled via verdict in order to be imposed on a lower court, as in an appeal of verdict, although that can be the remand directive in some cases. It seems apropos as an action to prevent the lower court from releasing protected discovery materials that should not be revealed under prior rulings of law including at the SCOTUS level.

JMHO.
