SNEED, Circuit Judge,
dissenting;
I respectfully dissent from the holding that this order is not appealable. Although the issue is a significant one, I shall not extend this expression of my views beyond stating that I would follow the Seventh Circuit’s holding appearing in Microsoft-ware Computer Systems, Inc. v. Ontel Corporation, 686 F.2d 531 (7th Cir.1982). That is, in my view the order is appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1).
It will serve little purpose for me to discuss the merits of the appeal. Suffice it to say, I would affirm the district court’s refusal to abstain.
