A: The time it takes for the 4th District Court of Appeals to read and rule on a Writ of Mandamus can vary widely depending on their caseload and complexity of the matter. The California Supreme Court is the highest court in the state, but it operates differently from the US Supreme Court. The California Supreme Court has discretion in selecting cases for review, and criteria for review include legal significance and potential to establish precedent. It's advisable to consult with an attorney for case-specific guidance and information on timelines.
