U.S. Supreme CourtDecided February 25, 2026October Term 2025

Geo Group, Inc. v. Menocal

Short name: Menocal

Court's summary

Because the Court’s decision in Yearsley v. W. A. Ross Constr. Co., 309 U. S. 18 (1940), provides federal contractors a potential merits defense rather than an immunity from suit, a pretrial order denying Yearsley protection is not immediately appealable.

From the syllabus prepared by the Reporter of Decisions. Not part of the Court's opinion.
