Edward L. ESNEAULT, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
WATERMAN STEAMSHIP CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee.No. 71-2160 Summary Calendar.*
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
October 26, 1971.
Darryl J. Tschirn, New Orleans, La., for plaintiff-appellant.
Thomas W. Thorne, Jr., Lemle, Kelleher, Kohlmeyer, Matthews & Schumacher, Gothard J. Reck, New Orleans, La., for defendant-appellee.
Before GEWIN, GOLDBERG and DYER, Circuit Judges.
BY THE COURT:
1Appellee'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.
2Dismissed.
Notes:
*Rule 18, 5 Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Co. of New York et al., 5 Cir. 1970, 431 F.2d 409
