12(b)(6). The district court certified the order for appeal
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b).
Under the express language of § 1292(b), this court has
“discretion” whether to “permit an appeal to be taken” un-
der the provision. See Digit. Equip. Corp. v. Desktop Direct,
Inc., 511 U.S. 863, 883 n.9 (1994) (noting “broad” discre-
tion). Having considered the matter, we decline to permit
interlocutory review in this case.
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
The petition and cross-petition for permission to appeal
are denied.
