The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit will hold a
special sitting March 30, 2015, at the Edward J. Schwartz U.S. Courthouse in San Diego,
California. Oral arguments will begin at 10 a.m. in the Ceremonial Courtroom (Room 4D),
located at 221 West Broadway. A photo ID will be required to enter the courthouse.
The appellate panel will consist of Senior Circuit Judges J. Clifford Wallace of San Diego and
Mary M. Schroeder of Phoenix, and District Judge Roger T. Benitez, also of San Diego, who will
sit by designation. The panel will hear an appeal of a decision by the U.S. District Court for the
District of Arizona.

And if you're into appellate stays and bonds (i.e., you're reading this blog), be sure to check out this writ
here in a dispute over an interpleaded $8M and CCP 917.2:
Petitioner contends that a judgment adjudicating a
party’s right to interpleaded funds, such as the judgment at issue here, is not stayed by the
perfecting of an appeal unless an undertaking in a sum fixed by the trial court is given.
We agree and, accordingly, grant the petition for writ of mandate.
