BOOTH, Circuit Judge.
I dissent. The case was eoneededly an equity case. The court was of the opinion that a receiver would be an aid in carrying on the litigation. This is shown by the findings of the court in the order appointing the receiver.
Some of the powers purporting to be granted to the receiver may be of doubtful validity, but some of them are unquestionably valid. Because of the doubtful powers, the majority opinion takes the view that the receiver was not an ordinary equity receiver, and, therefore, that the order was not appealable under section 227, title 28, USCA.
Because of the undoubtedly valid powers granted, I think the receiver was an ordinary equity receiver, and that, therefore, the order was appealable under said section 227.
The'question of the validity of the doubtful powers is not now before us for adjudication.
I think the motion to dismiss the appeal should be denied, and that the order appointing the receiver should be affirmed.
