Supreme Court of the United States
Digital Equipment Corp. v. Desktop Direct, Inc.
June 6, 1994511 U.S. 863
Summary
Justice Souter delivered a unanimous opinion affirming the Tenth Circuit’s judgment. The Court held that an order vacating a dismissal based on a settlement agreement does not satisfy the three‑pronged Cohen collateral‑order test and therefore is not appealable as a final decision under 28 U.S.C. §1291. No separate concurring or dissenting opinions were filed.
Holding
- Whether an order vacating a dismissal predicated on a settlement agreement is appealable as a collateral order under 28 U.S.C. §1291. Such an order is not appealable because it does not meet the Cohen collateral‑order requirements; the judgment of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.
