The court's mandate issues 7 days after the expiration of the time for filing a petition for rehearing. A timely petition for rehearing, petition for rehearing en banc, or motion to stay the mandate will stay issuance of the mandate. If the petition or motion is denied, the mandate will issue 7 days later. A motion to stay the mandate will ordinarily be denied, unless the motion presents a substantial question or otherwise sets forth good or probable cause for a stay. Fed. R. App. P. 41; Loc. R. 41. No mandate issues in mandamus or other original proceedings. Last Updated: December 1, 2016 // Disclaimer (© 4th Circuit Court of Appeals // December 2016)
