Key legal question
Whether the president's letter ordering correction of an offensive appeal writing was an admissible object of federal appeal.
Extracted holding
The challenged letter was at most an incidental procedural measure and did not cause irreparable harm; the appeal was therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant could simply file a corrected submission without the offensive terms. The order was based on express procedural rules and did not amount to a refusal to decide.
