    Summary Calendar.
    
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Oct. 26, 1971.
    
      Darryl J. Tschirn, New Orleans, La., for plaintiff-appellant.

    Before GEWIN, GOLDBERG and DYER, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       [1] Rule 18, 5 Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Co. of New York et al., 5 Cir. 1970, 431 F.2d 409.
    
   BY THE COURT:

Appellee’s motion to dismiss this . appeal for lack of jurisdiction is granted. The granting of a motion for a mistrial is not a final order which terminates the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing to be done but to enforce by execution what has been determined. Gilmore v. United States, 5 Cir. 1959, 264 F.2d 44, 45. Finality is necessary to bring the order within our appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291.

Dismissed.
