United States First Circuit

Defendant's interlocutory appeal in a political discrimination case under 42 U.S.C. 1983 is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction where orders of the district court denying pretrial motions for summary judgment typically are not appealable at the time they are entered, and where the trial court found an issue of material fact concerning qualified immunity.
