• Respondent (Father): [Not applicable or not found]

Legal Issues

• Whether the order denying the petitioner's motions is final and appealable.
• Whether the petitioner's concerns justify immediate review under the doctrine of practical finality.

Disposition

• The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

• VANZI, Judge (WECHSLER and GARCIA, Judges concurring): The court determined that the order from October 12, 2010, denying the petitioner's motions was not final and appealable because it was denied without prejudice, allowing for further action once the petitioner provided a sufficient factual record. The court also found that the petitioner's concerns did not outweigh the established rules governing finality. The possibility of the petitioner obtaining the information through subpoena or raising the statutory issue on appeal if the materials are not made available was considered a more appropriate course of action than immediate review.
