The Ninth Circuit affirmed 23 the district court’s decision, albeit in an unpublished memorandum, noting that “even if 24 the three [mandamus] elements are satisfied,” the “extraordinary remedy of mandamus 25 lies within the discretion of the trial court,” and finding that “[t]he district court 26 appropriately concluded that granting relief would merely allow [the plaintiff] ‘to jump 27 the queue of other identically situated parties’ and would therefore achieve an arbitrary 28 result and ‘encourage a barrage of mandamus actions by others.’” Casa Colina Hosp. & 1 || Ctrs…

MEMORANDUM **

1. Mandamus jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1361 “exists when [1] a plaintiff has a clear right to relief, [2] a defendant has a clear duty to act and [3] no other adequate remedy is available.” Piledrivers’ Local Union No. 2375 v. Smith, 695 F.2d 390, 392 (9th Cir. 1982). “The extraordinary remedy of mandamus lies within the discretion of the trial court, even if the three elements are satisfied.” Or. Nat. Res. Council v. Harrell, 52 F.3d 1499, 1508 (9th Cir. 1995); see also Indep. Mining Co. v. Babbitt, 105 F.3d 502, 505 (9th Cir. 1997). The district court appropriately concluded that granting relief would merely allow Casa Colina “to jump the queue of other identically situated parties” and would therefore achieve an arbitrary result and “encourage a barrage of mandamus actions by others.” Casa Colina has failed to show abuse of discretion.

2. “Judicial review of claims arising under the Medicare Act is available only after the Secretary renders a ‘final decision.’” Heckler v. Ringer, 466 U.S. 602, 605, 104 S.Ct. 2013, 80 L.Ed.2d 622 (1984). Although this dispute “hinges on the alleged right to timely appeals hearings on Medicare payments,” Casa Colina did not press its claims “through all designated levels of administrative review,” Ringer, 466 U.S. at 606, 104 S.Ct. 2013; see also 42 C.F.R. §§ 405.1130, 405.1132. Nor is judicial waiver of exhaustion requirements appropriate. See Kildare v. Saenz, 325 F.3d 1078, 1082 (9th Cir. 2003). Casa Colina lacks an irreparable injury because a future award of damages plus interest will make it whole. See Rent-A-Center, Inc. v. Canyon Television & Appliance Rental, Inc., 944 F.2d 597, 603 (9th Cir. 1991); 42 U.S.C. § 1395ddd(f)(2)(B). The district court didn’t err by dismissing Casa Coli-ña s Medicare Act, Administrative Procedure Act and Due Process claims.

AFFIRMED.
