Heading: Attachment on Elaine Elio's property

Text: 56 The district court ordered an attachment in the amount of $5 million on the real property of Carmen and/or Elaine Elio in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Echoing their arguments with respect to the preliminary injunction, defendants argue that the attachment, as it applies to Elaine Elio, was an abuse of discretion. 57 Unlike preliminary injunctions and receiverships, however, attachments are not among the interlocutory orders appealable under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292(a). Defendants concede that interlocutory orders granting attachments are not ordinarily appealable, see In re Unanue Casal, 998 F.2d 28, 31-32 (1st Cir.1993); Lowell Fruit Co. v. Alexander's Market, Inc., 842 F.2d 567, 568-70 (1st Cir.1988), but briefly argue that the rule should not apply here because the attachment is integrally related to the other orders, is based on the same findings of fact, and will not waste judicial resources. Defendants cite no statute or precedent in support of this argument, nor do defendants attempt to show that the attachment is appealable under the collateral order doctrine. See Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-47, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 1225-26, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949) 10 . In these circumstances, we decline to review the attachment order. Cf. In re Unanue Casal, 998 F.2d at 31-32; Lowell Fruit, 842 F.2d at 568-70; Sobol v. Heckler Congressional Comm., 709 F.2d 129, 130-32 (1st Cir.1983) (order dissolving attachment); Midway Mfg. Co. v. Omni Video Games, Inc., 668 F.2d 70, 71 (1st Cir.1981) (order vacating impoundment order). 58 Affirmed.
