Sec. 904.253  Interlocutory appeals.



    (a) At the request of a party or on the Judge's own initiative, the 

Judge may certify to the Administrator for review a ruling that does not 

finally dispose of the proceeding, if the Judge determines that an 

immediate appeal therefrom may materially advance the ultimate 

disposition of the matter.

    (b) Upon certification by the Judge of the interlocutory ruling for 

review, the parties have 10 days to serve any briefs associated with the 

certification. The Administrator will promptly decide the matter.

    (c) No interlocutory appeal lies as to any ruling not certified by 

the Judge.
