Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided December 29, 1981No. 81-1810PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Per curiam
Plaintiff-appellant Curlee Bowers appeals from an order of the district court 1 conditioning the voluntary dismissal of his action upon the requirement that the suit, if refiled, be commenced in either the state or federal courts of Arkansas. See Fed.R. Civ.P. 41(a)(2). We dismiss the appeal.
As a general rule, no appeal by the moving plaintiff will lie from an order granting a voluntary dismissal. E.g., Management Investors v. United Mine Workers, 610 F.2d 384, 393 (6th Cir. 1979); Yoffe v. Keller Industries, Inc., 580 F.2d 126, 129 (5th Cir. 1978), cert. denied, 440 U.S. 915, 99 S.Ct. 1231,…
