United States DC Circuit

Interlocutory appeal of discovery sanction, in case alleging employment discrimination in violation of Title VII, imposed for appellant's repeated failure to timely produce a privilege log, is dismissed for lack jurisdiction under the collateral order doctrine to review a discovery sanction until the district court enters a final judgment, and is denied as the circumstances of appeal are not extraordinary.
