United States Third Circuit

Court of Appeals lacked jurisdiction to hear the government's appeal (filed after the jury was sworn, several government witnesses testified, and the District Court, on the government's motion, reconsidered and clarified its initial ruling), both because the District Court did not dismiss the indictment and because retrial barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause.
