Edward L. Esneault v. Waterman Steamship Corporation

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Edward L. Esneault v. Waterman Steamship Corporation, 449 F.2d 1296 (5th Cir. 1971)
1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 7423; 1972 A.M.C. 2119

Edward L. Esneault v. Waterman Steamship Corporation

Opinion

BY THE COURT:

Appellee’s motion to dismiss this . appeal for lack of jurisdiction is granted. The granting of a motion for a mistrial is not a final order which terminates the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing to be done but to enforce by execution what has been determined. Gilmore v. United States, 5 Cir. 1959, 264 F.2d 44, 45. Finality is necessary to bring the order within our appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291.

Dismissed.
