Hi, Manuel, I only addressed the asker's question ("preliminary-injunction motion") in my answer, but your rendering may well reflect the meaning of the posting as a whole. The asker will know whether this fits from the rest of the document's content. In other respects, "solicitud de amparo constitutional" is certainly an appropriate rendering for "petition for writ of certiorari" ¡Saludos desde Madrid!

…regarding his first motion/petition

Manuel Cedeño Berrueta Feb 19, 2019:

Rebecca: Me parece que hay dos solicitudes aquí:

(1) a lawyer’s preliminary-injunction motion (medida cautelar solicitada al tribunal de la causa, que aparentemente no ha sido respondida), y

(2) the same lawyer’s petition to the Supreme Court regarding motion

So, I understand the full phrase
“lawyer’s petition for writ of certiorari pertaining to his preliminary-injunction motion” as
“Solicitud de amparo constitucional respecto a su solicitud de medida cautelar previa”
What do you think?

@Myriam Which country do you need this for? For example, the term "moción" in the judicial sense is only used in Puerto Rico as far as I know.
