(D.C. Civil Nos. 93-cv-00753 and 94-cv-00 576)___________

ORDER AMENDING SLIP OPINION

__________

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Slip Opinion filed in this case on October 9, 1996, be amended as follows : At the end of the first paragraph under Se ction II.A. (page 4) the following footnote shall be added: The subject matter jurisdiction of th e district court for both the Accounting Act ion and the Fraudulent Conveyance Action was based upon 28 U.S.C. § 1332, diversity of citizenship. The matter in controversy in each action is in excess of $50,000 and ea ch dispute is between citizens of different states.

We have appellate jurisdiction, pursu ant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), over all interlocutory orders of a district court which grant, continue, modify, refuse, or dissolve injunctions.

After the jury returned a verdict against the Kiesewetters, the Beneficiarie s' moved for a preliminary injunction. The district court entered a bench order in bo th the Accounting Action and the Fraudulent Conveyance Action freezing all assets held in the name or on behalf of William B. Kiesewetter, Jr, including those jointly h eld with Jayne H. Kiesewetter. On February 1, 1995, the district court reduced the bench order into a memorandum order which addres sed a number of other matters that are unrelat ed to the prejudgment asset freeze. The Kiesewetters filed this appeal from only t he asset freeze provisions of the February 1, 1995 order.
