Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 181 F.2d 494 (5th Cir. 1950) April 21, 1950

Calvin E. Hardin, Jr., Baton Rouge, La., Kermit B. Guidroz, Baton Rouge, La., for appellant.

William A. Porteous, Jr., New Orleans, La., Robert L. A. Indest, New Orleans, La., for appellee.

Before HUTCHESON, Chief Judge, and BORAH and RUSSELL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


When this case was last here we sent it back with directions that judgment be entered for defendant but with authority, however, to grant a new trial if so advised. 5 Cir., 161 F.2d 657. This procedure was merely a remand with directions to enter judgment subject to the trial judge's discretion in determining whether he would refuse or grant a new trial and having been submitted to his discretionary jurisdiction his order is not appealable.

The appeal is dismissed.
