DJI seeks a Ninth Circuit order on its unresolved FCC reconsideration request

A 6 November legal report examines DJI's 2 November petition for a writ of mandamus in Ninth Circuit case 26-7367. The company asks for an FCC decision on its pending reconsideration request concerning the Covered List; the report identifies no court ruling as of its publication.

The dispute concerns the process and timing of a regulatory decision, not an immediate reversal of equipment restrictions.

Distinguish a petition from an order and check the FCC authorization of a specific model rather than assuming all past products have the same status.
