Narrative Opinion Summary
The appellate court concluded that the order under review is a temporary stay of the underlying action, not an injunction as claimed by the Appellant. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal due to lack of jurisdiction, referencing established precedent that a stay is not an appealable nonfinal order. The court also chose not to grant certiorari relief on its own initiative. The dismissal is without prejudice, allowing either party to address the merits of the order in a subsequent final appeal. The judges, including Chief Judge Evander and Judges Lambert and Eisnaugle, concurred with the decision.
