1Opinion of the Court
TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.
The question presented by this appeal is whether a district court has jurisdiction to enter a status quo injunction in a minor dispute 1 under the Railway Labor Act, 45 U.S.C. § 151 et seq. (RLA), pending the outcome of a grievance which is being arbitrated. We rule that, absent exigent circumstances not present in this case, “[n]o court of the United States [has] jurisdiction,” to entertain such an action. 29 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.
