Is it possible to check with NMCCA tomorrow to see whether either transcript has been filed yet? If neither transcript has been filed, that would seem to strengthen the case for waiting past 9 June to file our mandamus petition. If Jones waits until 13 June to file the authenticated transcript and we have to then file our motion for access to the sealed transcript, it literally might not be possible to file our mandamus petition until next week.

(We don't wan't to file a motion to unseal it; we don't want the government to have access to it, but we need access to it ourselves. The motion should be similar to what we filed at CAAF, attached.)

If Jones hasn't filed the authenticated ROT by 9 June, we'll have to make a decision about whether to go beyond 20 days from the ruling complained of to file the mandamus petition.
