In Re Recticel Foam Corporation, in Re San Juan Dupont Plaza Hotel Fire Litigation. Appeal of Recticel Foam Corporation
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (1988) | 859 F.2d 1000; 1988 WL 96049
TL;DR: The appellate court dismissed an appeal and denied mandamus, finding no jurisdiction to review interlocutory cost-sharing orders in complex multi-district litigation, as the orders were neither final nor met exceptions.
Legal Significance: This case underscores the stringent application of the finality rule (28 U.S.C. § 1291) and the narrowness of the collateral order doctrine and mandamus relief for interlocutory case management orders.
