United States Third Circuit

In New Jersey's Department of Treasury Division of Investment's suit against officers and directors of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., arising from defendant-company's filing for bankruptcy protection three months after New Jersey purchased over $180 million of investment securities from defendant, defendants' motion to dismiss plaintiffs' appeal from a denial of its motion to remand is granted as the court lacks collateral order jurisdiction to review the district court's order denying plaintiff's motion to remand.
