This is insane. I have never heard of an appellant filing a motion to dismiss its own appeal and then filing a motion to withdraw its motion to dismiss its appeal.

And, there it is ... we have unlocked a new level of DOJ incompetence. DOJ is now moving to withdraw its dismissal of the law firm EO case appeals. (NYT reported this morning that was being considered.) Motion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco Background: lawdork.com/p/doj-to-drop-

MOTION TO WITHDRAW MOTION TO VOLUNTARILY DISMISS
APPEALS
Defendant-Appellants respectfully move to withdraw their motion
to voluntarily dismiss these consolidated appeals. Counsel for
Defendant-Appellants reached out to counsel for Plaintiff-Appellees for their position. All Plaintiff-Appellees oppose stating, "Plaintiffs-Appellees oppose the government's unexplained request to withdraw
yesterday's voluntary dismissal, to which all parties had agreed. Under no circumstances should the government's unexplained about-face provide a basis for an extension of its brief." Regardless of Plaintiff-
Appellees position, this Court has not yet granted the motion to dismiss, and it is the prerogative of Defendant-Appellants to pursue this appeal. In addition, there is no prejudice to Plaintiff-Appellees in the Court granting this motion. This Court should grant this motion to
withdraw.

Wait until they file a motion to withdraw their motion to withdraw their motion to dismiss their appeal.

Woke Translation: A motion to withdraw a motion to dismiss? That's just a fancy way of saying someone's regretting their life choices, one legal filing at a time.

Certainly won’t help the law firms defense that this is the President attacking them using his DOJ.

The Trump DOJ arriving at the Courthouse to file more motions to dismiss its prior motions ….

Ketchup Nero has apparently intervened.

Is this like that move when playing 2 player uno where you play 3 reverses in a row?

I'm no lawyer but doesn't this say they want to dismiss their request to drop the appeal because they don't know why they requested the appeal be dropped even though they all agreed to it?

Before long they will have to explain themselves in a press availability at Four Seasons Landscaping.

I vaguely recall a case I read that had a similar set of facts. The judge said no. It’s dismissed. You lose.

What makes you an expert, former Wachtel Lipton litigator?

The judge will not be happy.

If a lawyer represents Trump you can be pretty sure that lawyer is utterly incompetent or just a whore who will happily bill the most vexatious litigant in the history of jurisprudence to advance completely specious legal arguments.

Have they changed the rules so that you no longer have to explain the legal basis of your motion?

No biggie. The court should address the two DOJ motions in the order filed.

Court should deal with them consecutively: motion to dismiss - granted. Motion to withdraw - moot.

Ludicrous court actions. Demonstrating how absolutely out-of-control this wantonly inept yet avidly litigious administration is. Were I the judge, I’d rule that it is NOT the appellant’s job to waste The Court’s time with repeated and tempestuously contradictory filings.
