Patt Gibbs and Tamara Utens v. Bruno Paluk, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided September 10, 1984No. 84-1033PublishedCited by 45 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:
Whether a district court order disqualifying counsel is immediately appealable is our first concern in considering this motion to stay proceedings pending appeal in a .civil suit. The Supreme Court has held that an order disqualifying counsel in a criminal case is not final in effect and therefore not appealable. The analysis in that decision requires us to change our course in civil cases and to hold that we lack jurisdiction to entertain an interlocutory appeal. Accordingly, we deny the stay.
