Abney v. United States

Holding used

Collateral-order review permits an immediate appeal of a colorable double-jeopardy denial but does not carry unrelated indictment claims into the interlocutory appeal.

Material limitation

The claimed right and order must independently satisfy appellate jurisdiction; the decision is not a general pretrial-appeal authorization.
