Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 880 F.2d 1321 (6th Cir. 1989) July 27, 1989

Before MERRITT and DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judges, and BAILEY BROWN, Senior Circuit Judge.


Plaintiffs move to stay the district court proceedings wherein plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order was denied. Defendants have responded in opposition to the motion for a stay and raise a jurisdictional issue.

By their motion for a temporary restraining order in district court and by the motion to stay in this Court, plaintiffs sought to restrain the City of Youngstown from promoting certain employees of the Youngstown Police Department. A temporary restraining order is not immediately appealable. See Leslie v. Penn. Cent. R.R. Co., 410 F.2d 750 (6th Cir. 1969).

It is ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
