CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge
(concurring):
I concur in Judge Kennedy’s opinion.
He has said all that is necessary to dispose of the case.
However, there are other problems with the case. Without arguing them or listing all of them, I suggest a couple:
1. How on earth could the clerk of the district court be a proper party?
2. How could Judge Boldt be a proper party? (Counsel in oral argument seemed to suggest it could be done by simply calling Judge Boldt by the name of “Mr. Boldt.”)
In a proper case, mandamus might lie, but that is not available for a collateral attack.
