Practice question: Certiorari Jurisdiction in Aid of Appellate Jurisdiction in Local Tax Cases

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A party invokes Grecia-Cuerdo to claim that the CTA can review every RTC interlocutory order in an unrelated purely private family-property case. No tax jurisdiction exists. Is the citation sufficient?
  1. Yes, because every property dispute is a tax case.
  2. Yes, because the CTA has universal appellate jurisdiction.
  3. Yes, because interlocutory orders abolish subject-matter limits.
  4. No, because the CTA never has certiorari power.
  5. No. The holding is tied to cases within the CTA's appellate jurisdiction.
