    Neither.

    The Dick, Kerr Ladies (note the punctuation), were sponsored by a British company called Dick, Kerr & Co. that made equipment for railway and trolley lines. It had been founded in the 1850s by a man named William Dick and merged in the 1880s with a company owned by a man named John Kerr.

    I had to look that up.

    "An interlocutory appeal, in the law of civil procedure in the United States, occurs when a ruling by a trial court is appealed while other aspects of the case are still proceeding."

    "Any appeal in the lawsuit brought against U.S. Soccer by members of the women's national team will likely have to wait until at least September, based on a ruling by a federal judge in California on Tuesday.

    Judge R. Gary Klausner denied a motion brought by the players that would have allowed them to immediately begin the appeals process on the pay discrimination claims that he dismissed in May. The new ruling means that barring any settlement in the interim, players cannot begin the appeals process on the equal pay claims until after a trial in district court resolves remaining claims on working conditions and travel arrangements. That trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 15."

    Interlocutory appeal is a disfavored judicial remedy. Courts ordinarily deny. Appeals courts would rather have a completely developed trial record and only deal with the case once rather than have the case ping-pong between the district and circuit levels. There are exceptions.
