General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
Syllabus
In an action for an accounting, a federal district court denied a stay under § 3 of the United States Arbitration Act, pending arbitration.
Held: an appeal to a federal court of appeals could not be taken. Pp.176-185.
(a) The order denying a stay was not a "final decision" within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291. P. 179.
(b) The order denying a stay was a step in controlling the litigation before the trial court, not the refusal of an interlocutory injunction within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1292(1). Pp. 180-185.
(c) Morgantown v. Royal Ins. Co., 337 U.S. 254, followed. Enelow v. New York Life Ins. Co., 293 U.S. 379; Ettelson v. Metropolitan Ins. Co., 317 U.S. 188; and Shanferoke Corp. v. Westchester Corp., 293 U.S. 449, distinguished. Pp. 182-185.
