Jicarilla Apache Tribe v. U.S. — Attorney-Client Privilege Dispute Headed for Supreme Court?

Jicarilla Apache Tribe sued the U.S. in 2002 in the Court of Federal Claims and later asked for inter-agency federal documents where the government claimed an attorney-client privilege. The court disagreed and ordered the production of certain documents. This order here denies the government’s motion for a stay while it petitions to the Federal Circuit for a mandamus order. Now apparently it wants more time to file a cert petition in the Supreme Court.

Order on Motion to Stay

And here is the Federal Circuit’s order.
