Smart Summary Please sign up to generate summary. Edward L. ESNEAULT, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. WATERMAN STEAMSHIP CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee. BY THE COURT: Appellee'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. Dismissed.
