Whether the court of appeals' decision to exercise jurisdiction over an interlocutory appeal from a discovery order rejecting a claim of privilege conflicts with this Court's decision in Mohawk Industries, Inc. v. Carpenter
QUESTIONS PRESENTED (1) Whether the court of appeals’ decision to exercise jurisdiction over an interlocutory appeal from a discovery order rejecting a claim of privilege conflicts with this Court’s decision in Mohawk Industries, Inc. v. Carpenter, 558 U.S. 100 (2009). (2) Whether this Court should exercise its supervisory power to vacate the court of appeals’ decision given that it contains significant legal errors; opines at length about constitutional issues that do not form the basis of its decision; comments on the merits of Plaintiffs’ underlying claims, which were still being litigated in the district court; and makes unfounded allegations of religious bias and witness intimidation against the district judge and Plaintiffs’ counsel.
