Knudsen v. Taylor (ORDER)

Syllabus

Upon consideration of a petition under Code § 8.01-670.2, in which the legislature delineated appellate jurisdiction over this type of direct appeal, a review of the record here reveals no circuit court order denying a plea in bar alleging sovereign immunity. Therefore, lacking in jurisdiction over the petition for review, the Respondent's motion to dismiss is granted and the case remanded to the circuit court for it to take such action deemed appropriate consistent with this order. This conclusion shall not prejudice the Petitioner's ability to advance any argument on appeal at the appropriate time.
