United States Second Circuit

In claims brought by victims and families of victims of terrorist attacks committed in Israel between 1995 and 2004 alleging defendant-bank provided financial services and support to terrorists during this period, facilitating the attacks that caused them grave harm, defendant's writ of mandamus challenging district court's order imposing discovery sanctions on defendant is denied, and appeal is dismissed, where: 1) the sanctions order is not a reviewable collateral order and thus, there is no jurisdiction over the appeal; and 2) this is not an appropriate case for issuance of the extraordinary writ of mandamus because defendant has not established, among other factors, that it has a "clear and indisputable right" to such drastic relief or that review after final judgment will not provide adequate relief.
