Anthony Kennedy,
Firstier Mortgage Company v. Investors Mortgage Insurance Company…
“ It is appropriate to talk in terms of finality in the case before us because "the bench ruling did announce a decision purporting to dispose of all of FirsTier's claims." Ante, at 277. I would add, however, that the saving provision of Rule 4 (a) (2) applies as well to the announcement of an "order," and that some orders are appealable even though they do not possess attributes of finality. ”
