Geo Group, Inc. v. Menocal · ¶9

The question here is whether a contractor may take an immediate appeal of a district court's pretrial order denying Yearsley protection. The answer is no. Because Yearsley provides a defense to liability, not an immunity from suit, an order denying its protection can be effectively reviewed after a final judgment. So appellate review of such an order, as of most pretrial rulings, must await completion of the district court's proceedings.
