The ruling ends with "As the underlying criminal case resumes in the District Court, we trust and expect the District Court to proceed with appropriate dispatch." (emphasis mine)

"Appropriate dispatch" is usually code for "don't dilly dally" and lower courts take it seriously. Plus... Sullivan's attorney argued that there wasn't any reason to believe it would take much time at all (claiming that it would probably have been over by mid-July if Flynn hadn't gone the mandamus route in the first place) and that there probably wouldn't be many (if any) questions.
