What the document says
“An order granting or denying a motion under this section may be appealed in accordance with section 1291 of title 28.”
Either outcome is appealable, in accordance with section 1291 of title 28, United States Code. That statute is not indexed here, so nothing is recorded about the route it sets out.
What the document actually says
“An order granting or denying a motion under this section may be appealed in accordance with section 1291 of title 28.”
That sentence, in plain words
A yes or a no from the judge can be taken to a higher court.
What this is about
The rules for that come from another law. This part just says the door is open. Both sides can use it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
