Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
BRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judge.
Thomas S. Streetman (Trustee), appellant and trustee of Herbert E. Russell’s (Russell) bankruptcy estate, appeals from the district court’s 1 dismissal, of Count V of appellant’s amended complaint, for failure to state a claim. Count V sought punitive damages from Russell for his fraudulent concealment of estate assets. The order appealed from is not a final decision under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), nor is it appealable under the collateral order doctrine. Accordingly, we hold that this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the appeal and we dismiss this appeal.
