U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit

Ramona Matos Rodriguez v. Pan American Health Organization

August 14, 2026

Summary

The court dismissed PAHO's interlocutory appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the challenged jurisdictional-discovery order was not effectively final under the collateral order doctrine. Immediate review is unavailable when the complaint has already been found to plead an immunity exception, the defendant responds with a factual immunity motion, and the discovery addresses that same theory. The court remanded for further proceedings in the district court.
