Michael Prete v. Rhode Island

Did this Court’s (“SCOTUS”) Abney v. U.S. (431 U.S. 651 (1977)) ruling overturn SCOTUS’s holding in Stack v.

Since Abney didn’t overturn Stack (and, therefore, Eighth Amendment violation appeals are still permissible interlocutory appeals), did the R.I. Supreme Court’s (“RISC”) decision (claiming Eighth Amendment violation appeals are NOT permissible interlocutory appeals) violate SCOTUS’s binding precedent (binding precedent which has been repeated by ALL TWELVE U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal)?
