Question Presented (from Petition)
Jurisdiction of an appeal of an interlocutory order has previously been granted the Government (in a separate case) by the Seventh Circuit. Petitioner Zheng's Motion for the same relief was dismissed because of lack of jurisdiction. The case requires hearing before the Supreme Court in order to maintain uniformity in application of the Seventh Circuit's precedent.
