1985A recognized exception to this finality rule, at least in civil cases, is the doctrine of “fraud upon the court.” As a threshold matter we see no reason not to apply this civil doctrine to criminal cases as it is a “species of fraud which constitutes an attempt to defile the court itself.” State ex rel Corbin v. Arizona Corporation Commission, 143 Ariz. 219, 226 , 693 P.2d 362, 369 (App.1984), and as such tends to corrupt judicial power and debauch the power of adjudication.

2012The court explained that “appealability under § 12-2101(G) turns not on the finality of the judgment, but on the finality of the liability decision and the trial court’s discretionary finding that an appeal should lie in the particular case” and suggested that “Rule 54(b) certification, while not necessary, would satisfy the finality requirement.” Id. ¶ 23. ¶ 17 The district agrees that § 12-2101(A)(6) confers jurisdiction and argues that Bilke has implicitly abrogated this court’s decision in Cordova, 15 Ariz.App. 469 , 489 P.2d 727 (1971), which held that orders of immediate possession are n

2012But neither party cites or acknowledges Rogers v. Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement & Power District, in which our supreme court followed Cordova and held that an order of immediate possession is not appealable because appellate courts lack “legislative authorization for allowing such an appeal prior to the final judgment.” 110 Ariz. at 280 , 517 P.2d at 1276 . 6 ¶ 18 Although Bilke is the more recent case, we conclude that Rogers controls. *531 The Bilke court presumably was aware of its holding in Rogers and could have overruled it, but it did not do so.
