Trapped ball against the wall

What rule holds if an outfielder, say, briefly traps a fly ball against the far wall (in-bounds) while fielding it, then immediately has glove control of the ball? Out? Ground rule? Continue play?

Thanks

Once it hits the wall, it's no longer in flight. So, no catch. Play on.
