Summary

This document is a page from a legal filing, specifically Case 20-3061, dated September 16, 2020. It argues against the immediate appeal of a district court's pretrial decision, asserting that any potential harm to the defendant, Punn, can be adequately remedied through the standard appellate process after a final judgment. The text cites several legal precedents, including Mohawk Indus. and United States v. Hitchcock, to support the principle that post-conviction review is sufficient to protect a defendant's rights, even in cases involving purportedly ill-gotten evidence.

Quote #1
"Punn’s claim can be adequately vindicated upon appeal from a final judgment. . . . [I]f Punn’s arguments continue to fail before the district court, purportedly ill-gotten evidence or its fruits are admitted at his trial, and conviction results, appellate review will be available at that point[,] . . . [and the Court] may order a new trial without the use of the ill-gotten evidence, or whatever additional remedies are necessary to ensure that Punn’s legitimate interests are fully preserved."
Source
— Punn, 737 F.3d at 14 (Quoted from a previous ruling in Punn's case to argue that post-judgment appeal is a sufficient remedy.)

Case 20-3061, Document 37, 09/16/2020, 2932231, Page11 of 24
imperfectly reparable by appellate reversal of a final district court judgment is not sufficient.” Punn, 737 F.3d at 5 (internal quotation mark omitted) (quoting Mohawk Indus., 558 U.S. at 107). “Instead, the decisive consideration is whether delaying review until the entry of final judgment ‘would imperil a substantial public interest’ or ‘some particular value of a high order.’” Mohawk Indus., 558 U.S. at 107 (quoting Will v. Hallock, 546 U.S. 345, 352-53 (2006)); see also Kensington Int’l Ltd. v. Republic of Congo, 461 F.3d 238, 241 (2d Cir. 2006). In a criminal case, the availability of post-judgment relief through reversal or vacatur of conviction, if warranted, will generally be sufficient to protect whatever right a defendant claims was abridged by the district court’s pretrial decision. See, e.g., Punn, 737 F.3d at 14 (“Punn’s claim can be adequately vindicated upon appeal from a final judgment. . . . [I]f Punn’s arguments continue to fail before the district court, purportedly ill-gotten evidence or its fruits are admitted at his trial, and conviction results, appellate review will be available at that point[,] . . . [and the Court] may order a new trial without the use of the ill-gotten evidence, or whatever additional remedies are necessary to ensure that Punn’s legitimate interests are fully preserved.”); United States v. Hitchcock, 992 F.2d 236, 239 (9th Cir. 1993) (district court’s refusal to seal documents not immediately appealable because “[r]eversal after trial, if it is warranted, will adequately protect . . . interest[s]” asserted by defendants).
