Supreme Court of the United States Office of the Clerk Washington, Dc 20543-0001
71 - N In the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT At a Stated Term of the United States Supreme Court, Pursuant to Allotment Order designated for the Second Circuit, assigning Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, held at the Supreme Court Washington, D.C., on the 29th day of March, two thousand and nineteen.: Alan Giordani, individually and as Proposed Executor for the Estate of Nancy Giordani, and Alan Giordani, Individually, Petitioner-Appellant NOTICE OF MOTION TO STAY/REVESRSE AND REINSTATE APPEAL V. Docket No. 18-1164 United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Respondent-Appellee. Appellant Alan Giordani duly swears and deposes pursuant to U.S.C. Section 1001 that, Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 165(a), the jurisdictional predicate for this motion is its inter-relationship to the Petition for an Extraordinary Writ previously filed with this Court on March 5, 2019, that sought and requested mandamus relief 1 of 11 V - together with an immediate stay at that time and date. The scheduled March 6, 2019 docketing of a strike order and default, unfortunately was entered, in spite of this timely submission (see attached stamped and dated U.S. Supreme Court documents). This Court's Rule 20(1), provides... "that exceptional circumstances warrant the exercise of this Court's discretionary powers, and that adequate relief cannot be obtained in any other form of from any other Court." Rule 20(2) further states that... "all contentions in support of the petition for an Extraordinary Writ shall be included in the petition." See attached copy from the Second Circuit, indicating that this default was subsequently entered with a stamped mandate, dated March 7, despite the timely filing for a stay that was included in the Writ, served on this Court on March 5. -

AUGUST 2020 AUGUST 2020 AUGUST 2020 When trailblazer Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was in law school in the 1950s, women were less than 3% of lawyers in the country. Today, she observed, they occupy more than 50% of law school classes. But women represent only 33% of active federal judges. We can hope that their numbers will rise to reflect the important contributions they make to the legal profession. This year, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, securing women’s right to vote, the Second Circuit was poised to devote its judicial conference to the subject of women in the law, under the dynamic leadership of Judge Victor Bolden of the District of Connecticut. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was canceled. But much good work was done in preparation for that conference by our planning committee and our Library team. Among the fruits of their labor is compendium of short biographies of the women judges of the courts of the Second Circuit. How fortunate all of us are to have the services of such distinguished jurists. Our Circuit’s civic education project, Justice For All: Courts and the Community, will continue to devote attention to the role and contributions of our women judges to our nation.
