U.S. v. Henderson

Ct. of Appeals lacked jurisdiction to consider Dist. Ct.’s pre-trial order denying defendant’s motion to have shackles removed from defendant during all pre-trial proceedings, where said order was not final order and defendant’s trial on his charges was still pending. Moreover, said order did not qualify for interlocutory review under collateral-source doctrine, since Dist. Ct.’s denial could be effectively reviewed on direct appeal from final order at completion of case. Ct. similarly found that defendant could not seek mandamus relief from Dist. Ct.’s denial, since defendant had ability to challenge instant shackling order on direct appeal from final judgment. (Dissent filed.)
