142578P.pdf   07/10/2015  Alpine Glass, Inc.  v.  Country Mutual Insurance Co.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2578
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Murphy, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Arbitration. Order confirming an arbitration award was not a 
   final order for purposes of appeal as hundreds of these claims remained 
   pending, and the order had not been certified for appeal under Rule 54(b); 
   to the extent Alpine is urging the court to treat this "test claim" as an 
   independent action, the amount in controversy is only $398.77 and does not 
   meet the jurisdictional threshold in diversity cases; to the extent Alpine 
   wishes to treat the appeal as a petition for a writ of mandamus, the case 
   does not meet the stringent standards associated with issuing the writ, 
   and the petition is denied.
