U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-2021
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Wollman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - arbitration. District court's orders denying defendant's
counterclaims and requests for declaratory relief and granting plaintiff's
motion to compel consolidated arbitration under Minnesota's No-Fault
Act arbitration were not final orders for purposes of appeal as the district
court must still enter a final judgment in light of its mandatory obligation
under Minnesota law to review the arbitrator's legal conclusions de novo;
decision was not appealable under the collateral doctrine; appeal
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
