- What it's about
This case involves a legal dispute between an individual, Armstrong, and the Securities and Exchange Commission following a decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
Question presented
Whether the Second Circuit’s rule that a district court’s order is not a “final decision” under 28 U.S.C. § 1291—and thus not immediately appealable—unless it “adjudicates all the claims and the rights and liabilities of all the parties” conflicts with this Court’s precedent and the rules of other circuits.
