Gordon v. Ominsky


No. 395


Argued January 14, 1935
Decided February 4, 1935
294 U.S. 186

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT

Syllabus

Upon the authority of Pennsylvania v. Williams, ante, p. 176, held, that the Federal District Court for Pennsylvania had jurisdiction of a suit brought by nonresident shareholders for the appointment of receivers to liquidate an insolvent building and loan association and for an injunction, but that, in the exercise of a proper discretion, upon the showing made by the state Secretary of Banking, it should have relinquished its jurisdiction in favor of that officer.

72 F.2d 517 reversed.

Certiorari, 293 U.S. 548, to review a decree affirming a decree of the District Court appointing permanent receivers to liquidate an insolvent building and loan association and enjoining others from interfering with the property.
