The three-member panel of circuit court judges — Edward B. Leavy, Johnnie Rawlinson and Consuelo Callahan — said no further motions will be entertained on the issue.
Paul Maas Risenhoover, on behalf of the Taiwan-based Robin Hood International Human Rights Legal Defense Fund and the National Chamorro Association of the Mariana Islands, filed the case.
“Petitioner has not demonstrated that this case warrants the intervention of this court by means of the extraordinary remedy of mandamus…. Accordingly, the petition is denied,” the judges said in their order.
“All pending motions are denied as moot. No motions for reconsideration, rehearing, clarification, stay of the mandate, or any other submissions shall be filed or entertained in this closed docket,” they added.
Prior to the order, Risenhoover submitted at least 97 voluminous motions and exhibits.
The U.S. Department of Justice appointed Theodore W. Atkinson to deal with Risenhoover’s petition for a writ of mandamus.
Atkinson also served as the federal government’s lead counsel in the unsuccessful lawsuit filed by the Fitial administration against the federalization law.
Risenhoover separately filed a case with the United Nations International Court of Justice, asking it to declare the Covenant null and void.
