Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit October 18, 2000, No. 00-55014 (Z-Seven Fund, Inc. v. Motorcar Parts & Accessories)

SILVERMAN, Circuit Judge:

The issue before us is whether an order appointing a “lead plaintiff” in an on-going securities fraud class action is a “collateral order” from which an interlocutory appeal can be taken. We hold that it is not, and therefore dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

I.
