The deadline for filing a cert petition is 90 days from the March 6 decision. It runs separate from the 30 day deadline. However, once the 30 day deadline runs(and assuming no motion by Sprint) the mandate will issue to the district court regardless of the filing of a cert petition. Sprint also could file a motion to stay issuance of the mandate pending the cert petition. In any case, I expect all of these motions to be denied. Worst case we have to wait for the cert petition to be denied about 16 weeks from now. Best case Sprint gives up and the mandate issues by about April 12.
