Harmon R. (sonny) Miller, Petitioner, v. Gte Corporation and Gte Mobilnet Corporation, Respondents, 923 F.2d 868 (Fed. Cir. 1990)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit - 923 F.2d 868 (Fed. Cir. 1990) Oct. 15, 1990

Before ARCHER, Circuit Judge, FRIEDMAN, Senior Circuit Judge, and LOURIE, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

ARCHER, Circuit Judge.


Harmon R. (Sonny) Miller petitions for permission to appeal the orders certified by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas for immediate appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), (c). GTE Corporation, et al. have not filed a response.

On December 13, 1989, the district court (1) denied Miller's motion to remand to a state court, (2) certified the jurisdictional issue for immediate appeal, and (3) certified for immediate appeal the partial summary judgment determining that GTE Corporation is the owner of Miller's invention.

On May 4, 1990, we issued an order holding Miller's petition in abeyance for 30 days to give the district court the opportunity to issue a further order or decision on jurisdiction delineating its reasons therefor. To date, the district court has not responded.

Accordingly, the district court's certified orders not meeting the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), (c),

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

Miller's petition for permission to appeal is denied.
