3d DCA Watch -- Mayor Giving Testimony = Irreparable Injury!

Hi kids, it's 12.12.12 blah blah blah.

Does anyone else find that boring?

In other news, give 'till it hurts.

Finally, the bunker dwellers -- per curiam -- grant a writ of certiorari and quash a deposition subpoena that the Dade County PBA served on Mayor Gimenez.

Seems to me the majority is applying the Mr. Fantastic jurisdictional test -- it's as elastic as it needs to be.

Would a Mayor testifying unnecessarily in a deposition really be irreparable harm?

Not according to Judge Corinas in dissent:

I would deny the petition for a writ of certiorari on the ground that the petitioners have not met their burden of showing irreparable injury.

Finally, RIP dear Mr. Shankar.
