Holland v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court

The defendant has not met the rule’s requirement that he “set forth the reasons why review of the trial court decision cannot adequately be obtained on appeal from any final adverse judgment in the trial court or by other available means.” “The denial of a motion to dismiss pursuant to Mass. R. Crim. P. 13[, 378 Mass. 871 (1979),] is not appealable by a defendant until after trial.” Ventresco v. Commonwealth, 409 Mass. 82, 83 (1991).

Judgment affirmed.
