Trial Stages: Writs and Interlocutory Appeals: Generally

  1. issuance of an extraordinary writ staying court-martial proceedings requires the careful exercise of discretion
  2. when a writ petition asks us to stay a court-martial in deference to proceedings in a court outside the military justice system, it would be inappropriate to issue a stay absent a persuasive ruling from such a court or similar prudential considerations
