 Ripple Labs has voiced its opposition towards the United States securities regulator’s move towards filing&nbsp;an interlocutory appeal relating to the summary judgment laid down by U.S. District Court Judge Analisa Torres on Jul. 13. 
 In an Aug. 16 letter to Torres of the Southern District of New York, Ripple’s lawyers explained that because the Securities and Exchange Commission failed to satisfy elements of the Howey test relating to Ripple’s distribution of XRP — a “legal question” — the Court should reject the SEC’s motion for leave to file an interlocutory appeal. 
 An interlocutory <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="appeal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/appeal.html">appeal</a> occurs when a ruling by a trial court is <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="appeal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/appeal.html">appeal</a>ed while other aspects of the case are still proceeding and are only allowed under specific circumstances. 
 Ripple’s lawyers believe it is more appropriate for the SEC to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="appeal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/appeal.html">appeal</a> the Court’s ruling after a final judgement with a full record.

 Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s chief legal officer, explained that no “extraordinary circumstance” exists in the matter that warrants the Court to depart from normal legal procedure: 
 “There is no extraordinary circumstance here that would justify departing from the rule requiring all issues as to all parties to be resolved before an <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="appeal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/appeal.html">appeal</a>.”

 On Jul. 13, Ripple scored a partial victory over the securities regulator regarding the securities status of XRP. 
 Torres ruled that the XRP token was not in itself a security. She said, however, that sales of XRP tokens can be securities in certain circumstances, such as when sold to institutional investors but not when sold on exchanges to retail traders.
