United States Seventh Circuit

In a prolonged suit over mutual fund market-timing, appeals from denials of removal are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction where a district judge's error in applying the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act does not support appellate review, given 28 U.S.C. section 1447(d).
