GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:
In this interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), defendant-appellant Lyman Jones challenges the district court’s denial of his motion for summary judgment in the instant copyright infringement lawsuit. He asserts that the district court erred in ruling that the Copyright Act allows for infringement claims brought six years after his last act of infringement. We reverse.
