United States v. Hector Zapata-Perez

MEMORANDUM

Hector Zapata-Perez appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion to revoke his term of supervised release and sentence him in absentia. Because the denial of Zapata-Perez’s motion is not a final or appealable collateral order, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal.

MacDonald, 435 U.S. 850, 861 , 98 S.Ct. 1547 , 56 L.Ed.2d 18 (1978) (denial of constitutional speedy trial motion is not immediately appealable); see also United States v. Mehrmanesh, 652 F.2d 766, 769-70 (9th Cir. 1981) (denial of motion to dismiss under Speedy Trial Act is not immediately appealable). Collateral orders reviewable on interlocutory appeal involve “‘an asserted right the legal and practical value of which would be destroyed if it were not vindicated before trial.’ ”…
