United States Second Circuit

In defendants' motion to dismiss or consolidate appeals from two interlocutory orders for summary judgment entered in their favor and arising from a collision of cargo ships at sea, motion to dismiss is denied because when a district court has determined all of the liabilities of a party in an admiralty action, and the district court's decision is unaffected by any remaining claims, interlocutory appellate jurisdiction lies under 28 U.S.C. section 1292(a)(3). Motion to consolidate is granted on equity and judicial economy grounds.
