This case involves a petition for an extraordinary writ filed directly with the Supreme Court. The specific legal issues and underlying facts are not detailed in the available records.
Question presented
Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit abused its discretion and/or committed a clear error of law in denying Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus, where the district court’s order denying Petitioner’s motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction was based on a clearly erroneous interpretation of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (“FSIA”), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1330, 1602 et seq., and where the district court’s order would subject Petitioner to the burdens of litigation and discovery in violation of its sovereign immunity?
