Agencies

The agencies that at least 5 cases in the group say the delay is at. Open an agency for how its decisions came out and how the suits against it ended.

2,996 written decisions from 2,731 cases in the whole mandamus and agency-delay group, the group's newest decided November 12, 2026. Updated November 14, 2026 at 1:17 a.m. CT; the Passim connector counts the live collection, which can differ by the day's additions and retirements (which total to quote). Coverage: of the 1,617 public decisions since January 1, 2025 that a CourtListener and GovInfo search for mandamus and agency delay finds, Passim holds 1,406 (87%), 1,039 of them in this group, measured November 14, 2026. Some of what that search finds are not mandamus decisions. Tell us about a decision we're missing.

1 other agency is named by fewer than 5 cases and has no page here; its decisions are in the spreadsheet of every decision (CSV).

A decision's agency is the one it says the delay is at. A suit's agency is the one its written decisions name; a suit with no written decision is counted under its lead defendant's agency. Decisions and suits with no agency read are in no row here.

These are counts of past written decisions and dockets, not predictions of how any case will be decided. A distribution appears only when at least 5 decisions (or 5 dockets) are behind it; smaller groups are listed, not summarized. How it's counted.
