In re: Marcum L.L.P.

Petitioner filed an Emergency Motion for Stay or Alternative Petition for Writ of Mandamus, which arose out of petitioner's services as an expert in a trial. Petitioner subsequently sought appellate review of Chief Judge Edith H. Jones's Service Provider Continuity and Payment Order, which was issued after petitioner submitted a letter of resignation. The Order approved partial payment of petitioner's fees that were previously certified by the district court and also directed petitioner to continue work on the case. The court held that it was without jurisdiction to consider petitioner's appeal because the Order was neither a final decision of the district court under 28 U.S.C. 1291 nor an appealable interlocutory district order under 28 U.S.C. 1292, but rather an order issued pursuant to the Chief Judge's authority under the Criminal Justice Act, 18 U.S.C. 3006A(e)(3).
