Case 20-3061, Document 82, 10/02/2020, 2944267, Page22 of 37 16 judgment appeal whether publicity biased trial jurors); United States v. Nelson, 277 F.3d 164, 201-04, 213 (2d Cir. 2002) (vacating conviction where district court improperly refused to excuse potential juror who admitted bias based upon knowledge of defendant's previous acquittal).

Contrary to Maxwell's claims, the Order does not meet the third criterion of the standard for identifying immediately appealable collateral orders, which requires that the order being appealed from be "effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment." Van Cauwenberghe, 486 U.S. at 522. She likens her claim here to an appeal of an order denying a motion to reduce bail, arguing that her appeal "will become moot if review awaits conviction and sentence." (Br. 13 (quotation omitted)). But that is not so. In an order denying a motion to reduce bail, the DOJ-OGR-00019629
