This past month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued amended opinions and denied panel rehearing in United States v. Bescond, a case that concerns the ability of foreign defendants to seek relief from U.S. indictments. 2021 WL 6803154, at *1. In a 2-1 decision, the panel majority held that fugitive disentitlement orders are immediately appealable under the collateral order doctrine, and that foreign defendants who remain at home abroad should not be deemed fugitives. Chief Judge Debra Livingston dissented, arguing that the collateral order doctrine was inapplicable, and expressing skepticism about the majority's fugitive analysis. The dueling opinions not only mark important development in the law of the circuit, but also reflect a fundamental disagreement about the role of the federal courts—and American justice—abroad.
