He did not.  As is true of everything else about Marbury, there's a debate between legal realists--i.e., he didn't because it would have disserved the interests of the Federalist Party--and legalists--he didn't because in fact there was no lower court that had jurisdiction.

            I apologize if this question is old hat to many of you.  Does anyone know off the top of his or her head if Marbury sought a writ of mandamus in a lower court after losing in the Supreme Court?  Thank you in advance for any help on this issue.
