Document Summary
Notice of Appeal
This summary note is machine-generated. Always consult the original materials.

This document is a Notice of Appeal filed by the Russian Federation (Respondent) in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, initiating an interlocutory appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The appeal challenges the District Court’s Order and Memorandum Opinion, entered on June 11, 2025, which denied the Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss based on sovereign immunity. The Respondent asserts that the denial of sovereign immunity is immediately appealable under the collateral-order doctrine pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

Procedurally, the Respondent notes that the Notice of Appeal was filed in an abundance of caution while awaiting the District Court’s ruling on its pending Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) Motion to Amend. The Respondent emphasizes that the pending Rule 59(e) motion tolls the time to appeal under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(4)(A)(iv).
