In a criminal prosecution against the co-founder of Broadcom alleging that defendant made a false statement to the SEC, defendant's appeal from two orders by the district court rejecting his plea bargain is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction where: 1) a plea-rejection order is not completely separate from the merits; and 2) the plea-rejection order was effectively reviewable on appeal from a final judgment.
