"The defendant's interlocutory appeal is therefore DISMISSED for lack of appellate jurisdiction," the document states.
The first son is charged with making false statements on a federal form when purchasing a firearm in 2018 after Special Counsel David Weiss charged him with making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm; making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a licensed firearm dealer; and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Judge Maryellen Noreika said Special Counsel David Weiss must show Hunter Biden was addicted to drugs, but not necessarily using drugs the day he purchased the gun.
