Edward L. Esneault v. Waterman Steamship Corporation
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided October 26, 1971 · Gewin, Goldberg, Dyer
449 F.2d 1296; 1971 U.S. App. LEXIS 7423; 1972 A.M.C. 2119 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

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.
