ORDER
v.
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY,
10
Defendant.

12
Plaintiff Victor Tagle directs two requests to the Chief Judge: (1) a writ of
13
mandamus (ECF No. 141); and (2) a request for submission of that writ (ECF No. 142).
14
The undersigned will deny both motions in her capacity as Chief Judge because the Chief
15
Judge has no authority to grant the relief Plaintiff seeks.
16
Plaintiffs directs his writ at the Chief Judge. (ECF No. 142.) But “[a] district court
17
lacks authority to issue a writ of mandamus to another district court.” Mullis v. U.S. Bankr.
18
Court for Dist. of Nevada, 828 F.2d 1385, 1393 (9th Cir. 1987). Thus, the Chief Judge
19
has no power to entertain Plaintiff’s writ or its corresponding motion requesting the writ’s
20
submission. Further, the Chief Judge lacks authority to interfere with the way Judge
21
Gordon (the presiding judge) handles this case. As Plaintiff is aware (ECF No. 28), if he
22
disagrees with one of Judge Gordon’s decisions, his remedy is appeal.
It is therefore ordered that Plaintiff’s petition for writ of mandamus (ECF No. 141)
23
24
is denied.
