ON PETITION AND ON MOTION
______________________
P ER CURIAM .
O R D E R
Ramey Alaine Chisum petitions for a writ of manda-
mus directing the United States Court of Federal Claims
to enter judgment in her favor and moves for leave to pro-
ceed in forma pauperis.
In the underlying proceedings before the Court of Fed-
eral Claims, the United States moved to dismiss, and
Ms. Chisum moved for summary judgment. The Court of
Federal Claims stayed briefing on the summary judgment
motion pending resolution of the motion to dismiss. Brief-
ing on the motion to dismiss completed in late August 2024,
and that motion remains pending.

IN RE CHISUM 2
In order to establish entitlement to the extraordinary
remedy of a writ of mandamus, a petitioner must show: (1)
“no other adequate means to attain the relief [it] desires,”
(2) a “clear and indisputable” right to relief, and (3) that
the writ is “appropriate under the circumstances.” Cheney
v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for D.C., 542 U.S. 367, 380–81 (2004)
(cleaned up). Here, at a minimum, Ms. Chisum has failed
to show she is unable to get the relief she is seeking without
our immediate intervention on mandamus. And, to the ex-
tent Ms. Chisum challenges the trial court’s decision to
stay consideration of her motion for summary judgment
pending consideration of the government’s motion to dis-
miss, she has not shown the sort of unreasonable delay re-
quired for the extraordinary remedy of mandamus.
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
The petition and motion are denied.
