“Special master appointments are not

subject to interlocutory

appeal, at least in the 11th Circuit. And when reviewed, it is only for abuse of discretion.”


Translation for legal dummies?

It means that in normal cases the appointment of a special master is something that is delegated to the judge and the court of appeals is not likely to intervene but rather give deference to the appointing judge ... Dhillon notes that in the 11th Circuit such an appointment is not even appealable and even/if so reviewed is only in cases where a judge abused discretion. In other words, in a normal sequence of events, there would be no predicate for 11th Circuit intervention and it’s curious Barr pushed this on D_o_J
