Decided January 10, 1955

348 U.S. 176

Syllabus

In an action for an accounting, a federal district court denied a stay under § 3 of the United States Arbitration Act, pending arbitration.

Held: an appeal to a federal court of appeals could not be taken. Pp. 348 U. S. 176-185.

(a) The order denying a stay was not a "final decision" within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291. P. 348 U. S. 179.

(b) The order denying a stay was a step in controlling the litigation before the trial court, not the refusal of an interlocutory injunction within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1292(1). Pp. 348 U. S. 180-185.

(c) Morgantown v. Royal Ins. Co., 337 U. S. 254, followed. Enelow v. New York Life Ins. Co., 293 U. S. 379; Ettelson v. Metropolitan Ins. Co., 317 U. S. 188; and Shanferoke Corp. v. Westchester Corp., 293 U. S. 449, distinguished. Pp. 348 U. S. 182-185.
