Larry Melancon v. Texaco, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided October 15, 1981No. 81-3254PublishedCited by 155 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
TATE, Circuit Judge:
The plaintiff Melancon appeals from a denial of his motion to remand to the state court an action that, on grounds of diversity, had been removed from state court to the federal court for the Western District of Louisiana. Melancon argues that the trial judge erred in refusing to remand the suit to the state court and in recalling and vacating an order that on Melancon’s ex parte motion had permitted the joinder of a non-diverse party defendant. Because the interlocutory orders complained of are not appealable, we dismiss the appeal.
