Government of the Virgin Islands v. Jamel Rivera

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “The Revised Organic Act is the Virgin Islands’ equivalent of a constitution ....” (internal quotation marks omitted)
• “In the context of a criminal case, the collateral order doctrine is used sparingly because of the need to effectively and efficiently conclude criminal proceedings, without piecemeal interruptions.”
• the government’s inability, by statute, to pursue a future appeal after imposition of a new sentence is a matter for the legislature and does not impact the conclusion that a final, appealable decision is absent
