United States Ninth Circuit

In a wage dispute brought by a bank's employees, an interlocutory appeal of a denial of plaintiffs' motion to issue notice of a collective action brought under section 16(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is dismissed as the collateral order exception to the final judgment rule was inapplicable here because the district court's order was not "effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment."
