PER CURIAM.
In deciding the plaintiffs' claim in an action where jurisdiction was based on diversity of citizenship, the district court severed a counterclaim for future disposition, and thereafter entered a judgment, from which this appeal stems, against the appellants. Some of the specifications of error raise questions of Alabama law which we think were properly decided by the district court.

Affirmed.
