US Fidelity & Guar. Co. v. Arch Ins. Co. , No. 08-1709
In a dispute between two sureties claiming rights to the same property, plaintiff's appeal requesting review of a district court order summarily dissolving a pretrial attachment is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction under the collateral order doctrine, where the circuit court was unable to discern the basis for the district court's ruling with respect to the unexplained interlocutory order.
