In recent rulings, the Federal Circuit refrained from exercising its previously aggressive stance on mandamus petitions, particularly in cases involving venue transfers under statute 1404(a). This decision reflects a more cautious approach compared to its past behavior, where the court frequently intervened in lower court decisions concerning venue.
The cases discussed demonstrate a consistent theme where the Federal Circuit denied petitions for writs of mandamus when district courts exercised their discretion under the convenient venue statute 1404(a). This signals an ongoing trend of the court being selective about intervening in such procedural matters.
