Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 558 F.2d 236 (5th Cir. 1977) Aug. 24, 1977

Robert N. Willis, Atlanta, Ga., for plaintiff-appellant.

Charles Kelso, D. Gerald Coker, Atlanta, Ga., for defendant-appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

Before COLEMAN, GODBOLD and TJOFLAT, Circuit Judges.


BY THE COURT:

Plaintiff appeals the denial by the district court of a jury trial on his Age Discrimination Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et seq., claim against Chevron. Chevron has moved to dismiss the appeal.

Because the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a) and (b) have not been met, this issue is not cognizable on appeal.1 

The appeal is DISMISSED.

It appears that the issue raised by this appeal was submitted for decision to a panel of this court on April 20, 1977, in Murphy v. American Motors Sales Corp. (No. 76-2718).
