Questions presented
-
Whether the court of appeals misapplied Fed eral Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(2) and this Court’s decision in FirsTier Mortgage Co. v. Investors Mortgage Insurance Co., 498 U. S. 269 (1991), by char acterizing the district court’s memorandum as “clearly interlocutory” rather than determining whether it was a decision that would be appealable if immedi ately followed by the entry of judgment.
-
Whether a district court memorandum accom panied by a same-day case-closure notice and later fol lowed by entry of Rule 58 judgment may reasonably be understood as dispositive for purposes of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(2) and 28 U. S. C. §1291.
