The following excerpt is from Allen, In re, 896 F.2d 416 (9th Cir. 1990):
The district court was correct as a matter of law. We therefore decline to issue a writ of mandamus. Cf. Land v. Deeds, 878 F.2d 318 (9th Cir.1989) (court treated appeal from denial of bail pending decision on habeas claim as a petition for writ of mandamus, examined the merits, and denied the writ).
