Question Presented (from Petition)

Under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, does a court of appeals have jurisdiction in a criminal case to hear a government mandamus petition where the court of appeals has no statutory jurisdiction to hear a government appeal?

Can a "clear and indisputable" entitlement to mandamus relief exist where granting the relief requires creating a circuit split?
