John Petro v. Stanley Bakely, Jr.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit · Decided December 7, 1965 · Hastie, Ganey, Freedman
353 F.2d 511; 1965 U.S. App. LEXIS 3734 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

John Petro v. Stanley Bakely, Jr.

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This appeal has been taken from an order of the district court denying a defendant’s motion to dismiss as res judicata an action for negligent injury. No further dispositive action has occurred in the trial court.

While the granting of a motion to dismiss may be a final judgment, the denial of such a motion lacks the finality which is essential .to support an immediate appeal.

The appeal will be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
