The state Court of Appeal on Thursday gave Cardinal Roger M. Mahony at least 30 days to persuade higher courts to stall the court-ordered disclosure of internal files on two priests accused of molestation.
The court denied a request by Mahony's lawyers for more time to try to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn state court rulings demanding that the files be turned over to investigating authorities.
A Los Angeles County grand jury subpoenaed the documents three years ago.
