United States Ninth Circuit

Appeal of a district court's order imposing sanctions is dismissed, where: 1) the district court was sitting in bankruptcy, so 28 USC section 1291 supplied the rule with regard to interlocutory appealability, not the more flexible 28 USC section 158(d)(1); and 2) under the three-part test of Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949), the sanctions order was not a final and immediately appealable order.
