1968 A.M.C. 1061

Motor Vessel Ciudad De Neiva v. Thomsen

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

This is a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the district judge to decline jurisdiction in admiralty of a libel brought by a Colombian seaman against a Colombian vessel and her Colombian owner. No final order — either declining or accepting jurisdiction- — has been entered. The district judge has simply postponed decision to permit development, by discovery, of the relevant facts. We are without jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. A. §§ 1291, 1292. The petition is Dismissed.
