Kincade v. C & L Rural Electric Cooperative Corp.
Decision Date | 11 April 1960 |
Docket Number | No. 18009.,18009. |
Parties | Robert KINCADE, Eva Kincade and W. S. Kincade, Appellants, v. C & L RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE CORPORATION and Employers Mutual Liability Insurance Company of Wisconsin, Appellees. |
Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Fifth Circuit |
Vincent J. Brocato, Clarksdale, Miss., James T. Kendall, Jackson, Miss., for appellants.
T. S. Lovett, Jr., P. A. Lasley, Little Rock, Ark., for appellees.
Before RIVES, Chief Judge, and CAMERON and WISDOM, Circuit Judges.
This appeal is from a summary judgment dismissing that portion of the amended counterclaim asserted by the appellants in which they demanded judgment against the appellee in the sum of $8,654.13.1 The district court, acting under the provisions of Rule 54(b), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C. A., directed the entry of a final judgment on that portion of the amended counterclaim upon an express determination that there is no just reason for delay. As appears from the opinion of the district court, that portion is entirely severable from the remainder of the counterclaim and constitutes one separate claim in an action presenting multiple claims for relief.2 The appeal being from a final decision of the district court entered pursuant to Rule 54(b), this Court has jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291; Vol. 6; Moore's Federal Practice, 2nd ed., Paragraphs 54.27, et seq.
1 The full and able opinion of the district court is reported as C & L Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation v. Kincade, 1959, 175 F.Supp. 223.
