OPINION OF THE COURT
ROTH, Circuit Judge
“Final” is a concept that is seemingly simple in definition but endlessly elusive in application. Congress historically has required finality as a prerequisite of federal appellate procedure to “achiev[e] a healthy legal system.”2 Cobbledick v. United States, 309 U.S. 323, 326, 60 S.Ct. 540, 541, 84 L.Ed. 783 (1940); Dugan & McNamara v. Clark, 170 F.2d 118, 119 (3d Cir.1948). In our federal courts, even though a party contends that an order is final, we do not acquiesce in that conclusion. We must make our own determination that finality does exist.
