Schlagenhauf v. Holder, 379 U.S. 104 (1964), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that Rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allows courts to order a defendant to submit to a medical examination.[1][2] The case came to stand for the notion that mandamus can be appropriate when there is a recurring dispute over interpretations of the Rules.[3]
