Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided February 24, 1984No. 83-8098PublishedCited by 18 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

TUTTLE, Senior Circuit Judge:

This is an interlocutory appeal from the district court’s partial denial of appellants’ motions for summary judgment. The district court, 557 F.Supp. 664, certified two issues for our review, which in the district court’s opinion raised questions over which there is room for substantial disagreement because of their novel nature, and which, if reversed on this appeal, would terminate the present litigation without the necessity for a trial. Unfortunately, in the present state of the case, we cannot reach one issue, but we do decide the other.
