No. 18099.

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

April 18, 1960.

Herbert W. Peterson, Birmingham, Ala., Claude D. Scruggs, Guntersville, Ala., Rives, Peterson, Pettus & Conway, Birmingham, Ala., of counsel, for appellant.

Joe Starnes, Starnes and Starnes, Guntersville, Ala., for appellee.

Before RIVES, Chief Judge, and HUTCHESON and BROWN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

This attempted appeal from an order denying defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, but granting its alternative motion for a new trial is not an appeal from a final decision of which this Court has jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C.A. 1291; Ford Motor Co. v. Busam Motor Sales, 6 Cir., 1950, 185 F.2d 531; Balicki v. Central Greyhound Lines, Inc., 3 Cir., 1945, 150 F.2d 402. The appeal is therefore

Dismissed.
