By Mayo Clinic Staff. Cystitis (sis-TIE-tis) is the medical term for inflammation of the bladder. Most of the time, the inflammation is caused by a bacterial infection, and it's called a urinary tract infection (UTI).
However, an appellate court retains control over an appeal until it issues a mandate and the decision is not final until a mandate is issued. Thus, the lower court order remains in effect until the mandate is issued.[ii] A mandate is effective when it is issued. The duty to issue a mandate is the responsibility of the court clerk who must execute certain established procedures which themselves constitute the issuance of the mandate.
Rule 41 establishes this default procedure: âUnless the court directs that a formal mandate issue, the mandate consists of a certified copy of the judgment, a copy of the courtâs opinion, if any, and any direction about costs.â Fed.
