In re Ralph Roger BERGMAN.
Ralph R. BERGMAN, Petitioner,
v.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, Respondent.
Misc. No. 347.
No. 92-3490.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
Aug. 24, 1992.
MOTIONS DENIED.
ON MOTION
LOURIE, Circuit Judge.
ORDER
Ralph Roger Bergman submits a "motion for an extraordinary writ" requesting that the court (1) deny the government the privilege of pleading under "assumption of truth" in opposing Bergman's present appeal no. 92-3490, (2) deny the government the privilege of invoking sovereign immunity in 92-3490, and (3) deny the government the use of "prior litigation victories."
Bergman's submission is not an "extraordinary writ," as that procedure is not appropriate when a matter may be reviewed in the context of an ordinary, contemporaneous appeal. Moses H. Cone Hospital v. Mercury Constr. Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 8 n. 6 (1983). Accordingly, Bergman's requests are being treated as motions within the context of appeal no. 92-3490.
Bergman's arguments concern the merits of his case. These arguments should be presented in Bergman's briefs.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) Bergman's motions are denied.
(2) Bergman's brief is due within 21 days.
