Aitken v. US Stem Cell Clinic, LLC, No. 19-13381 (11th Cir. 2021)
Annotate this CaseTwo groups of patients who deposited tissue in a stem-cell bank appealed the district court's denial of their respective motions to intervene under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24 in an action between the corporation running the bank and the FDA. The district court concluded that the motions were premature and denied them without prejudice. The Eleventh Circuit held that the district court's order was not a final decision within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 1291, and thus the court lacked jurisdiction to consider the patients' appeal.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on June 2, 2021.
