              TITLE 48--TERRITORIES AND INSULAR POSSESSIONS
 
         CHAPTER 10--TERRITORIAL PROVISIONS OF A GENERAL NATURE
 
Sec. 1493. Prosecution; authorization to seek review; local or 
        Federal appellate courts; decisions, judgments or orders
        
    The prosecution in a territory or Commonwealth is authorized--unless 
precluded by local law--to seek review or other suitable relief in the 
appropriate local or Federal appellate court, or, where applicable, in 
the Supreme Court of the United States from--
        (a) a decision, judgment, or order of a trial court dismissing 
    an indictment or information as to any one or more counts, except 
    that no review shall lie where the constitutional prohibition 
    against double jeopardy would further prosecution;
        (b) a decision or order of a trial court suppressing or 
    excluding evidence or requiring the return of seized property in a 
    criminal proceeding, not made after the defendant has been put in 
    jeopardy and before the verdict or finding on an indictment or 
    information, if the prosecution certifies to the trial court that 
    the appeal is not taken for purpose of delay and that the evidence 
    is a substantial proof of a fact material in the proceeding; and
        (c) an adverse decision, judgment, or order of an appellate 
    court.
